Abstract

The predominant species in clinical isolates is . Many articles, clinicians, and GenBank submissions misname these strains as . The lack of sequenced type strains or named species/subspecies for some clades in the complex complicate the issue. The genomes of the type strains for  subsp.  , .  subsp.  , and , and two strains from Hoffmann clusters III and IV of the complex were sequenced. These genomes, the .   subsp.  type strain, and other available type strains were analysed in conjunction with all extant genomes in NCBI's RefSeq using Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI). There were five recognizable subspecies of : subsp. subsp. nov., subsp. comb. nov., and the three previously known subspecies. One of the strains sequenced from the complex was not a novel subspecies but rather a member of a clade of a novel species: sp. nov.. was determined to be a later heterotypic synonym of which should take precedence. The phylogeny of the genus, particularly the complex, was re-evaluated based on the type strain genome sequences and all other available genomes in RefSeq.
