ATCC 49851; ICMP 12530

Erwinia Winslow, Broadhurst, Buchanan, Krumwiede, Rogers & Smith 1920

            The homogeneity of genera in the Enterobacteriaceae that contain pathogens of plants and animals and from other environments has been discussed (Brenner et al. 1984). Recent divisions of Erwinia into several genera, Brenneria, Pectobacterium and Samsonia, are based solely on comparative analysis of 16S rDNA sequence data that show these as separate clades within the Enterobacteriaceae. There are no circumscriptions that differentiate these genera in phenotypic terms.

Leifsonia cynodontis (Davis, Gillaspie, Vidaver & Harris 1984) Suzuki, Suzuki, Sasaki, Park & Komagata 2000

            Suzuki et al. (2000) proposed that L. cynodontis supplant L. xyli, a name they considered to be not valid because they could not obtain a culture of the type strain. However, the type strain of L. xyli is available, and other strains were available as possible neotypes of the species. L. cynodontis is probably a heterotypic synonym of L. xyli.
