Achromobacter gen. nov. and Achromobacter xylosoxidans (ex Yabuuchi and Ohyama 1971) nom. rev.

The names Achromobacter Bergey et al. 1923 and Achromobacter xylosoxidans Yabuuchi and Ohyama 1971 were not included on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names. The name Achromobacter xylosoxidans is here revived for the same organism to which the name was originally applied, and the new name Achromobacter is proposed for the genus in which this species is placed. A. xylosoxidans is the type species of Achromobacter, and ATCC 27061 is the type strain of A. xylosoxidans. The correct author citations for these names are Achromobacter Yabuuchi and Yano 1981 and A. xylosoxidans (ex Yabuuchi and Ohyama 1971) Yabuuchi and Yano 1981, or simply A. xylosoxidans Yabuuchi and Yano 1981.
