• Notes:
  • 🙋 This subspecies could be automatically created (rule 40d) by the valid publication of Roseomonas gilardii subsp. rosea Han et al. 2003 but an explicit description was also provided. Publication: Han XY, Pham AS, Tarrand JJ, Rolston KV, Helsel LO, Levett PN.

  • 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 2. — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
  • 🙆 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as the name to be applied to this subspecies. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the species itself.
  • 🧍 The original authorship, Rihs et al. 1998, was corrected according to the new Rule 40d. — 🧍 The strain CIP 104026 has been provided on request for validation. Publication: Euzeby JP. Validation list no. 94. List of new names and new combinations previously effectively, but not validly, published. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2003; 53:1701-1702.
