• Notes:
  • 🙋 This subspecies could be automatically created (rule 40d) by the valid publication of Clavibacter xyli subsp. cynodontis Davis et al. 1984 but an explicit description was also provided. Publication: Davis MJ, Gillaspie Jr. AG, Vidaver AK, Harris RW. Clavibacter: a new genus containing some phytopathogenic coryneform bacteria, including Clavibacter xyli subsp. xyli sp. nov., subsp. nov. and Clavibacter xyli subsp. cynodontis subsp. nov., pathogens that cause ratoon stunting disease of sugarcane and Bermudagrass stunting disease. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1984; 34:107-117.
  • ❗ Clavibacter xyli subsp. xyli is the correct name instead if this subspecies is regarded as a separate subspecies (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another subspecies whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate species Clavibacter xyli within a separate genus Clavibacter.
  • 😷 The risk group for Swiss Confederation has been imported on 2024-02-01. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "PP". — The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "p".
  • 🧍 The type strain (L1A = NCPPB 3152 = PDDCC 7127 = ATCC 33974= LMG 7352) of Clavibacter xyli subsp. xyli Davis et al. 1984 is no more available from the authors of the species, the NCPPB, the ICMP (= the PDDCC), the ATCC, and the LMG (ICMP website, Living Culture Search, November 17, 2010). In the opinion of Suzuki et al. 1999 [1], the subspecies Clavibacter xyli subsp. xyli automatically lost the taxonomic status. However this opinion is not sustained by the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision) and the matter should be referred to the Judicial Commission [2].
