According to Van den Mooter and Swings (1990), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Pseudomonasmaltophilia (ex Hugh and Ryschenkow 1961) Hugh 1981 but this is in conflict with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.Publication:

According to Van den Mooter and Swings (1990), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Stenotrophomonasmaltophilia (Hugh 1981 ex Hugh and Ryschenkow 1961) Palleroni and Bradbury 1993 but this is in conflict with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.Publication:
