• Notes:
  • ❗ Corynebacterium michiganense subsp. insidiosum 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 Corynebacterium michiganense within a separate genus Corynebacterium.
  • 😷 The taxon name shown here has no risk group assigned, but is the homotypic synonym of Corynebacterium insidiosum (McCulloch 1925) Jensen 1934 (Approved Lists 1980), which has a risk group (Swiss Confederation) above 1.
