The strains were also mislabeled at the National Collection of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria in England when strain NCPPB 2982T (T = type strain) was transferred from the Plant Disease Division Culture Collection. Recently, these errors have caused considerable confusion in the taxonomic placement of this bacterium, not only in workers who received cultures from the culture collections but also in workers who are directly responsible for the culture collections. The type strain of the bacterium should be strain PC1 in the culture collection of plant-pathogenic bacteria at the Laboratory of Plant Pathology, Shizuoka University, strain ATCC 33616 in the American Type Culture Collection, or strain CCM 2888 in the Czechoslovak Collection of Microorganisms. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-42-3-503
