Classification
Descriptions
Erwinia carnegieana Standring 1942
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.

Notes
taxonomic status
Erwinia carnegieana Standring 1942 (Approved Lists 1980) and Pectobacterium carnegieana (Standring 1942) Brenner et al. 1973 (Approved Lists 1980) have the same type strain and therefore are homotypic synonyms [Rules 24a and 24b (1)].
In a request for an opinion, S.M. Alcorn and V.T. Orum [1] presented evidence that the type strain of Erwinia carnegieana (syn. Pectobacterium carnegieana) is a contaminant and that no culture corresponds to the description attached to this name and requested that both of these species names be rejected as nomen dubium. The Judicial Commission [2, 3] concluded that the species will simply disappear from use without the need to place the names on the list of nomina rejicienda.
