In 1997, the name (Blackall 1989) comb. nov. was proposed by Chun on transfer of the species to the newly established genus as its type species. The appearance of the epithet in was quite different from that in its basonym This could be seen, at first glance, as an unnecessary epithet change that may render and its generic name illegitimate according to the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP). But in this paper, the author argues that for this particular case, '' and '' are better treated as different spellings of the same epithet. And if so, the change from '' to '' will not give rise to a case of illegitimacy under Rule 41a of the ICNP. Several possible counterarguments are discussed, which are shown to be based on a misinterpretation of the ICNP, particularly in relation to Rule 20a. As this is a non-trivial issue, the author requests a final decision by the Judicial Commission according to Rule 58 of the ICNP. An additional request for clarifying Rule 54 is also made.

The type strain of Nocardia pinensis was the subject of chemotaxonomic and 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing studies. The resultant nucleotide sequence was aligned with the sequences of representatives of the genera Corynebacterium, Dietzia, Gordona, Mycobacterium, Nocardia, Rhodococcus, and Tsukamurella, and phylogenetic trees were generated by using the Fitch-Margoliash, maximum-parsimony, maximum-likelihood, and neighbor-joining methods. It was evident from the phylogenetic analyses that N.

In South Africa from early 1989 onward, strains of Haemophilus paragallinarum not requiring nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) have been isolated from commercial chickens suffering from infectious coryza. Fifteen of these field isolates were characterized by biochemical typing, serotyping, restriction endonuclease analysis (REA), and ribotyping. The chosen isolates represented diversity in geographic location, time of disease outbreak, and type of flock.

Ninety-five isolates of Haemophilus paragallinarum were classified serologically by a hemagglutinin serotyping scheme, and the results were compared with results from agglutinin serotyping of the same isolates. Of the isolates, 65 were from Australia, 5 were from Japan, 6 were from the Federal Republic of Germany, 7 were from the United States, and 12 were from South Africa. Seven hemagglutinin serovars, HA-1 to HA-7, corresponding to agglutinin serovars A (HA-1, HA-2, and HA-3), C (HA-4, HA-5, and HA-6), and B (HA-7) have been described.

Three techniques, a hemagglutinin (HA) serotyping scheme, carbohydrate fermentation patterns, and antimicrobial drug resistance patterns, were used to examine 92 isolates of Haemophilus paragallinarum. The results were used to create biotyping schemes. The carbohydrate fermentation and antimicrobial drug resistance patterns each resulted in the identification of five biovars.
