🧍 Nom. corrig.: IJSB 47:909; Streptococcus sanguis (sic).
Publication:
Trüper HG, De' Clari L. Taxonomic note: Necessary correction of specific epithets formed as substantives (nouns) "in apposition". Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1997; 47:908-909.
- 🧍 In Kilian's opinion [1] the change of the well-established name Streptococcus sanguis may be a source of confusion. So, with reference to the first Principle of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision), Kilian requested that the original name Streptococcus sanguis be conserved [2]. The Judicial Commission denied this request, and no Opinion will be issued upon this request [3]. Publication: Kilian M. Necessary changes of bacterial names? ASM News 1998; 64:670.
