Madhaiyan M, Wirth JS, Saravanan VS. Phylogenomic analyses of the Staphylococcaceae family suggest the reclassification of five species within the genus Staphylococcus as heterotypic synonyms, the promotion of five subspecies to novel species, the taxonomic reassignment of five Staphylococcus species to Mammaliicoccus gen. nov., and the formal assignment of Nosocomiicoccus to the family Staphylococcaceae.

Nomenclatural status:
inaccurate spelling and illegitimate
Taxonomic status:
misspelling (and not recommended for medical use)
corrected spelling of name, validly published under the ICNP, illegitimate name
Notes:
😷 The taxon name shown here has no risk group assigned, but is the homotypic synonym of Staphylococcuscohnii subsp. urealyticum Kloos and Wolfshohl 1991, which has a risk group (Canada) above 1. This may require that the name shown here is not treated as the correct name for practical purposes.
🎓 Name mentioned 6 times in PubMed until 2026-02-10.
🙅 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as a synonym of the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the species itself.
🧍 Illegitimate according to the ICNP (contravening Rules 12b and 13c). The subspecific epithet urealyticus in Staphylococcus cohnii subsp. urealyticus corrig. Kloos and Wolfshohl 1991 repeats the subspecific epithet urealyticus in Staphylococcus capitis subsp. urealyticus corrig. Bannerman and Kloos 1991. Because no two subspecies within a genus may bear the same subspecific epithet (Rules 12b and 13c), urealyticus in the name Staphylococcus cohnii subsp. urealyticus corrig. will have to be replaced.Publication:
