Abstract

Stanford and Gunthorpe have documented well the illegitimacy of Mycobacterium fortuitum da Costa Cruz 1938 as a later synonym of Mycobacterium ranae Bergey et al. 1923. Nevertheless, in the interest of stability of nomenclature, conservation of the specific epithet fortuitum over ranae is desired.
