Proposal of Mycoplasma buccale nom. nov. and Mycoplasma faucium nom. nov. for Mycoplasma orale “Types” 2 and 3, Respectively

Following recommendations made by the Subcommittee on the Taxonomy of Mycoplasmatales of the International Committee on Systematic Bacteriology, it is proposed that Mycoplasma orale 2 and Mycoplasma orale 3 be recognized as two separate species, Mycoplasma buccale nom. nov. (type strain: CH20247; ATCC 23636) and Mycoplasma faucium nom. nov. (type strain: DC-333; ATCC 25293), respectively. The general properties and distinctive characteristics of the newly named species are summarized.
