Sphingobacterium bovistauri sp. nov., Isolated from the Faeces of Bos Taurus

Proposal of Sphingobacterium allocomposti nom. nov., Mycobacterium chelonae subsp. bovistauri nom. nov. and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. allosunkii nom. nov. as new names with replacement specific or subspecific epithets, respectively, for three illegitimate prokaryotic names Sphingobacterium composti Yoo et al. 2007, Mycobacterium chelonae subsp. bovis Kim et al. 2017 and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. sunkii Kudo et al. 2012; proposal of Christiangramia oceanisediminis comb. nov. and Christiangramia crocea comb. nov. as replacement names respectively for two illegitimate prokaryotic names Gramella oceanisediminis Yang et al. 2023 and Gramella crocea Zhang et al. 2023

As required by Rule 54 of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes, the authors propose the replacement specific epithet 'allocomposti' for the illegitimate prokaryotic name Sphingobacterium composti Yoo et al. 2007, the replacement subspecific epithet 'bovistauri' for Mycobacterium chelonae subsp. bovis Kim et al. 2017 and the replacement subspecific epithet 'allosunkii' for Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. sunkii Kudo et al. 2012. Meanwhile, new combinations Christiangramia oceanisediminis and Christiangramia crocea are also proposed as replacements for the illegitimate prokaryotic names Gramella oceanisediminis Yang et al. 2023 and Gramella crocea Zhang et al. 2023, respectively.

Update on novel validly published taxa of bacteria isolated from domestic animals described in 2022

Expansion of our knowledge of the microbial world continues to progress at a rapid rate and carries with it an associated need for recognizing and understanding the implications of those changes. Here, we describe additions of novel taxa from domestic animals published in 2022 that are validly published per the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. These included new members of Staphylococcaceae, Moraxella nasovis sp. nov. in sheep with respiratory disease, three additions to Campylobacteraceae (including one from chickens with spotty liver disease), and multiple additions of organisms from the microbiota of dogs, pigs, and especially honeybees and other important pollinators. Noteworthy additions were associated with diseases of cattle, including mastitis, endocarditis, orchitis, and endometritis. Also described in 2022 was Pseudochrobactrum algeriense sp. nov., a member of the Brucellaceae family, isolated from the mammary lymph nodes of cows.
