title: The 1997 list. Proposed new bacterial taxa and proposed changes of bacterial names published during 1997 and considered to be of interest to medical or veterinary bacteriology. An informational note.
abstract: A list of names published or validated in 1997 is presented. We also comment on the tendency to base names of new taxa on a single bacterial strain, and the consequences for reliable descriptions that this tendency implies.
