🧍 Yarza et al. (2013) expected for accession JN175340, originating from the alleged type-strain deposit CIP 106116, an affiliation with Pasteurellaceae (Gammaproteobacteria) but observed an affiliation with Aeromonadaceae (Gammaproteobacteria) and 99.8% similarity against Aeromonas bestiarum.Publication:
