Taxa covered by the ICSP Subcommittee on the Taxonomy of Pasteurellaceae - December 2009

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.

This list is based in part on Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, 2nd edition, vol. 2 (Springer, New York).

Prepared by Henrik Christensen. Originally prepared 5 October 2004. Updated 17 December 2009.

Species and unnamed taxa of Pasteurellaceae are listed, with type or reference strains and 16S rRNA gene sequence accession numbers. The order of accession numbers reflects decreasing sequence length.

Comment: Most type strains have been deposited in more than one culture collection. Strain numbers given here are in most cases the culture collection number(s) stated in the original species description.
