Notes:
-
According to Bennett et al. (2013), Neisseria mucosa var. heidelbergensis should be renamed Neisseria oralis.
Publication:
Bennett JS, Jolley KA, Maiden MC. Genome sequence analyses show that Neisseria oralis is the same species as 'Neisseria mucosa var. heidelbergensis'. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2013; 63:3920-3926.
- The correct citation for this taxon should be Neisseria mucosa (von Lingelsheim 1906) Véron et al. 1959; synonym: "Diplococcus mucosus" von Lingelsheim 1906.
