- ❗ Xanthomonas perforans 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 Xanthomonas.
- 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "p". — 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.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 96 times in PubMed until 2025-06-04.
- 🙅 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 species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of other species in the genus.
- 🧍 Plant pathogenic according to Bull et al. (2007). Publication: Bull CT, De Boer SH, Denny TP, Firrao G, Fischer Le Saux M, Saddler GS, Scortichini M, Stead DE, Takikawa Y. Comprehensive list of names of plant pathogenic bacteria, 1980-2007. Journal of Plant Pathology 2010; 92:551-592. 🇺🇸
-
🧍 The specific epithet perforans is a "L. part. adj.", not a "L. noun" as cited in the paper by Jones et al. 2006. — According to Young et al. 2008, Xanthomonas perforans Jones et al. 2006 is probably a later heterotypic synonym of Xanthomonas euvesicatoria Jones et al. 2006.
