However, this species is the type species of the genus Aeromonas Kluyver and van Niel 1936. Because the generic name Aeromonas has come into general use for identifiable species named subsequently, the Judicial Commission is requested, in accordance with Rule 9c(3)(c) of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria (3) to designate Aeromonas hydrophila (Chester 1901) Stanier 1943 as the type species of Aeromonas and to designate Stanier as the author of this generic name. ATCC 7966 is here designated as the neotype strain of Aeromonas hydrophila. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-21-1-87
