🫡 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the species itself. This name is not taxonomically suspended any more in favour of Mycoplasma bovis (Hale et al. 1962) Askaa and Ernø 1976 (Approved Lists 1980).
