Murray et al. published the Manual of CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY 8th Edition in 2003 in which Monclab and Hillier proposed and validated the taxonomy of the genusPeptostreptococcus. These taxonomic changes are shown in the Table.
Some researchers and technicians have already used these nomenclature in Japan. ICD and the members of JAPANESE SOCIETY OF ORAL THERAPEUTICS AND PHARMACOLOGY should know these proposals, though they may not actually use the revisions.
According to these proposals, two main causative organisms, Peptostreptococcus magnusandPeptostreptococcus micros, change toFinegoldia magnaandMicromonas microsrespectively.
