The appearance of a name on this list does not constitute valid publication of that name. For lists of validly published names, including names published since this list was generated, and information on authorities of names etc., users should consult Jean Euzeby's List of Bacterial Names with Standing in Nomenclature (http://www.bacterio.cict.fr/index.html). Validly published names of genera and higher rank are linked to the relevant page on this site.

Notes
(i) In the Taxonomic Outline, by Garrity et al., on the web site of the new (2nd) edition of Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, the families Cytophagaceae and Spirosomaceae are deleted. Some of the genera they previously comprised and some unattributed genera are moved to the new families 'Blattabacteriaceae', 'Saprospiraceae', 'Flexibacteraceae', 'Flammeovirgaceae' and 'Crenotrichaceae'.
(ii) Although the family Bacteroidaceae Pribram 1933 (genera Bacteroides, Algoriphagus, Anaerophaga, Marinilabilia, Porphyromonas, Prevotella and Rikenella) also belongs to the phylum FlavobacteriumCytophagaBacteroides, it falls within the competence of the Subcommittee on the taxonomy of Gram-negative anaerobic rods.
(iii) Several organisms are currently misclassified in the genera Cytophaga, Flavobacterium and Flexibacter.
