Erwinia carnegieana Standring 1942

Notes

The species was validly published. Because the type strain of P carnegiana (= E. carnegieana) was identified as a member of Klebsiella pneumoniae, a Request for an Opinion was made to reject this name (Alcorn and Orum, 1988). This was not supported because, in the absence of any identifiable strain to serve as the type strain, the name would naturally fall into disuse without the necessity of placing it on the List of Rejected Names (Wayne, 1994). Plainly it should not be recorded in a list of pathogenic species.
