🧍 The specific epithet lutetiensis is a N.L. masc. adj. not a L. masc. n. as cited in the paper by Poyart et al. 2002. 3 According to Rules 27(3) and 30, this name is not validly published because the effective publication only documents deposit of the type strain in a single recognized culture collection. However, according to the Judicial Opinion 81, Streptococcus lutetiensis Poyart et al. 2002 is to be considered to be validly published.
