The following names have been corrected to accord with correct Latin usage (Truper & De Clari 1997; Euzéby 1998). Since these corrections were made the Code of Nomenclature has been amended to take account of the need for stability of names. Now, names that have been gazetted in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology are the definitive names of the organism regardless of orthographic errors in their Latin or Greek declension except to correct the gender of species epithets when they are proposed as new combinations (De Vos & Trüper (2000). IJSEM will aim to publish correctly declined names.
