• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus Teichococcus Kämpfer et al. 2003. Publication: Kampfer P, Andersson MA, Jackel U, Salkinoja-Salonen M. Teichococcus ludipueritiae gen. nov. sp. nov., and Muricoccus roseus gen. nov. sp. nov. representing two new genera of the alpha-1 subclass of the Proteobacteria. Syst Appl Microbiol 2003; 26:23-29.
  • ❗ Teichococcus ludipueritiae is the correct name instead if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Teichococcus.
  • 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1.
