Notes:
- ❗ Mycoplasma microti is the correct name instead if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Mycoplasma.
- 😷 The risk group for Swiss Confederation has been imported on 2024-02-01. The full classification is: risk group = 2. — The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 2, note = "t".
- 🎓 Name mentioned 2 times in PubMed until 2024-03-27.
- 🧍 According to Rules 27(3) and 30, this name is not validly published, because the original publication makes reference to the deposit of the type strain in a single recognized culture collection. However, according to the Judicial Opinion 81, Mycoplasma microti Brown et al. 2001 is considered to be validly published, since deposit in a second culture collection in a different country has been documented.
