All of the original isolates have been lost, but a strain with characteristics that agree closely with those reported by Harrison and Hansen has been deposited as a reference strain in the ATCC and the NCTC. This strain, ATCC 25560 (= NCTC 10570), is here described and is designated the neotype strain of Bacteriodes hypermegas Harrison and Hansen.", }
