• Notes:
  • 😷 The taxon name shown here has no assigned risk group, but is the original uncorrected spelling of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus corrig. (Spieckermann and Kotthoff 1914) Davis et al. 1984, which has a risk group (Swiss Confederation) above 1. These are therefore two spellings of the same name that should be treated identically for practical purposes.
  • 🙅 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 subspecies. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the species itself.
