• Notes:
  • According to Tindall et al. (2005), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Salmonella enterica (ex Kauffmann and Edwards 1952) Le Minor and Popoff 1987. Publication: Tindall BJ, Grimont PA, Garrity GM, Euzeby JP. Nomenclature and taxonomy of the genus Salmonella. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2005; 55:521-524.
  • Synonymy of this taxon was mentioned in an IJSEM list. Publication: Euzeby JP. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 55, part 1 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2005; 55:987-991.
  • Salmonella paratyphi is the correct name if this species is regarded as a separate species within a separate genus Salmonella.
  • Ezaki et al. 2000 proposed the new species Salmonella paratyphi by raising Salmonella choleraesuis subsp. choleraesuis serovar Paratyphi A to species satus. Publication: Euzeby JP. List of Bacterial Names with Standing in Nomenclature: a folder available on the Internet. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1997; 47:590-592.
  • The Request for an Opinion by Ezaki et al. about the conservation of the name Salmonella paratyphi (Int. J. Syst. Evol. Microbiol., 2000, 50, 941-944) was not granted by the Judicial Commission. See the file "Requests for Opinions and Judicial Opinions". Publication: Anonymous. Judicial Opinion No. 80. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2005; 55:519-520.
  • This name was not found in the expected IJSEM notification list.
  • So, according to the minutes of the meeting of the Judicial Commission (14 September 1990, Osaka, Japan) [2], Salmonella paratyphi is not validly published. However, in the opinion of the author of "List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature" the name Salmonella paratyphi has standing in nomenclature. Moreover, Salmonella paratyphi is listed in the paper by Tindall et al. 2005. Publication: Wayne LG. JUDICIAL COMMISSION: Minutes of the meeting, 14 September 1990, Osaka, Japan. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1991; 41:185-187.
  • The name Salmonella paratyphi (ex Kayser 1902) Ezaki et al. 2000 was not included in the "Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 50, part 2, of the IJSEM" [1]. Publication: Anonymous. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 50, part 2 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2000; 50:951-953.
