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.
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.
