Corynebacterium genitalium sp. nov., nom. rev. and Corynebacterium pseudogenitalium sp. nov., nom. rev., two old species of the genus Corynebacterium described from clinical and environmental samples
Two Corynebacterium species were proposed decades ago, isolated from clinical samples and divided into biovars: "Corynebacterium genitalium" biovars I-V and "Corynebacterium pseudogenitalium" biovars C1-C6. Several biovars have been re-classified as new species. Nevertheless, biovar I and C5, together with their respective specific epithets "C. genitalum" and "C. pseduogentalium", remained not validly published after more than 40 years. Several more strains, temptatively classified as "C. genitalium" biovar I and "C. pseduogenitalium" C5, have been isolated from clinical and environmental samples. Both species presented Gram-positive, non-spore forming rod-shaped cells, able to grow aerobically with CO
