Abstract

Abstract

The descriptions of and show differences in key reactions (ornithine decarboxylase and -sorbitoI fermentation) that have not received attention and are inconsistent with the synonymy proposed by Grimont and Ageron (P. A. D. Grimont and E. Ageron, Res. Microbiol. 140:459–465, 1989). A reassessment of the biochemical properties confirms that they are synonymous. We believe that the priority of should be maintained in diagnostic and clinical microbiology even if the epithet could be misunderstood in a clinical setting.
