Conservation of the Specific Epithet fortuitum in the Name of the Organism Known as Mycobacterium fortuitum da Costa Cruz

Request for an Opinion

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.
