• Synonyms:

  • Name	Kind
    Elizabethkingia endophytica Kämpfer et al. 2015	homotypic synonym, validly published under the ICNP, distinct rank

• Notes:
  • ❗ Elizabethkingia anophelis subsp. endophytica 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 Elizabethkingia anophelis within a separate genus Elizabethkingia.
  • 😷 The taxon name shown here has no risk group assigned, but is the homotypic synonym of Elizabethkingia endophytica Kämpfer et al. 2015, which has a risk group (Germany) above 1. This may require that the name shown here is not treated as the correct name 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.
