Notes:
- Mycoplasma phocicerebrale is the correct name 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.
- Listed as phocacerebrale in the notification list. Publication: Anonymous. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 41, part 1 of the IJSB. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1991; 41:457-458.
- Contrary to what the Lists Editor IJSEM states, this correction is legitimate because Mycoplasma phocacerebrale (validly published in full paper in the January 1991 issue of the IJSB) is not included in a Notification List (the first Notification List was published in July 1991). Publication: Anonymous. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 51, part 4 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2001; 51:1621-1623.
- The original spelling of the specific epithet phocacerebrale (sic), has been corrected by Heldtander Königsson et al. 2001. Publication: Konigsson MH, Pettersson B, Johansson KE. Phylogeny of the seal mycoplasmas Mycoplasma phocae corrig., Mycoplasma phocicerebrale corrig. and Mycoplasma phocirhinis corrig. based on sequence analysis of 16S rDNA. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2001; 51:1389-1393.
- The full TRBA 466 classification is: risk group = 2, note = "Z".
