Note: Pseudomonas maltophilia sp. nov., nom. rev.

Abstract

The name Pseudomonas maltophilia Hugh and Ryschenkow 1961 is not on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names. The taxon to which this name was applied is a distinct entity, and it can be differentiated from the other named species of Pseudomonas. Consequently, the name Pseudomonas maltophilia is revived for the same organism to which the name originally referred. The type strain of P. maltophilia is ATCC 13637 (= 810-2 = RH 1168).
