Notes:
- 😷 The risk group for Belgium has been imported on 2024-02-05. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "animal pathogen - biological class of risk animal: 2". — The risk group for Swiss Confederation has been imported on 2024-02-01. The full classification is: risk group = 2, note = "PV". — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
- 🧍 According to Yarza et al. (2013), an "un-sequenced orphan species where descriptions, illustrations or dead preserved material serve as the type.". Publication: Yarza P, Sproer C, Swiderski J, Mrotzek N, Spring S, Tindall BJ, Gronow S, Pukall R, Klenk HP, Lang E, et al. Sequencing orphan species initiative (SOS): Filling the gaps in the 16S rRNA gene sequence database for all species with validly published names. Syst Appl Microbiol 2013; 36:69-73.
- 🧍 Considered not validly published. The transfer of Eperythrozoon coccoides (the type species of the genus Eperythrozoon) to the genus Mycoplasma means that the genera Eperythrozoon and Mycoplasma are heterotypic synonyms. According to Rule 44, the name of the genus must be Eperythrozoon because Eperythrozoon Schilling 1928 (Approved Lists 1980) has priority over Mycoplasma Nowak 1929 (Approved Lists 1980). In the paper by Neimark et al. 2005, the authors added a request for an Opinion concerning this problem. Consequently, according to Rule 28b(2), Mycoplasma coccoides (Schilling 1928) Neimark et al. 2005 is not validly published. Publication: Judicial Commission. Judicial Opinion No. 92. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2014; 64:3586-3587.
