  • Nomen dubium, request for Opinion IJSB 38:134. Publication: Alcorn SM, Orum TV. Request for an opinion. Rejection of the names Erwinia carnegieana Standring 1942 and Pectobacterium carnegieana (Standring 1942) Brenner, Steigerwalt, Miklos and Fanning 1973. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1988; 38:132-134.
  • In a request for an opinion, S.M. Alcorn and V.T. Orum [1] presented evidence that the type strain of Pectobacterium carnegieana (syn. Erwinia carnegieana) is a contaminant and that no culture corresponds to the description attached to this name and requested that both of these species names be rejected as nomen dubium.

Rejection of the names Erwinia carnegieana Standring 1942 and Pectobacterium carnegieana (Standring 1942) Brenner, Steigerwalt, Miklos and Fanning 1973. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1988; 38:132-134.
