It is concluded that the two subspecies should rather be regarded as two different species. It is proposed, therefore, that M. agalactiae subsp. boυis be elevated to the rank of species. The species name is M. boυis (Hale et al.) comb. nov. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-26-3-323
