Priority of Yokenella regensburgei Kosako, Sakazaki, and Yoshizaki 1985 over Koserella trabulsii Hickman-Brenner, Huntley-Carter, Brenner, and Farmer 1985
Yokenella regensburgei and Koserella trabulsii have competed for priority since 1985. The Bacteriological Code was amended in 1986 to include an addition to Rule 24b of the Bacteriological Code by the Judicial Commission. According to the 24b of the Bacteriological Code, the Rules are retroactive. We propose that Yokenella regensburgei has priority over the genus Koserella and the species Koserella trabulsii.
