DNA-DNA hybridization experiments and an evaluation of phenotypic characteristics, DNA base ratios and 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that Wautersia eutropha (Davies 1969) Vaneechoutte et al. 2004, the type species of the genus Wautersia, is a later synonym of Cupriavidus necator Makkar and Casida 1987, the type species of the genus Cupriavidus. In conformity with Rules 15, 17, 23a and 37a(1) of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria, the genus name Cupriavidus has priority over the genus name Wautersia, and all other members of the genus Wautersia are reclassified into Cupriavidus as Cupriavidus basilensis comb. nov. (type strain LMG 18990(T)=DSM 11853(T)), Cupriavidus campinensis comb. nov. (type strain LMG 19282(T)=CCUG 44526(T)), Cupriavidus gilardii comb. nov. (type strain LMG 5886(T)=CCUG 38401(T)), Cupriavidus metallidurans comb. nov. (type strain LMG 1195(T)=DSM 2839(T)), Cupriavidus oxalaticus comb. nov. (type strain LMG 2235(T)=CCUG 2086(T)=DSM 1105(T)), Cupriavidus pauculus comb. nov. (type strain LMG 3244(T)=CCUG 12507(T)), Cupriavidus respiraculi comb. nov. (type strain LMG 21510(T)=CCUG 46809(T)) and Cupriavidus taiwanensis comb. nov. (type strain LMG 19424(T)=CCUG 44338(T)).
DNA-DNA杂交实验以及对表型特征、DNA碱基比例和16S rRNA基因序列的评估表明，沃氏富营养菌（戴维斯，1969年）瓦内肖特等人，2004年，沃氏菌属的模式种，是食酸铜绿假单胞菌马卡尔和卡西达，1987年，铜绿假单胞菌属的模式种的晚出同物异名。根据《国际细菌命名法规》第15、17、23a和37a(1)条规则，铜绿假单胞菌属的属名优先于沃氏菌属的属名，沃氏菌属的所有其他成员被重新分类到铜绿假单胞菌属，分别为巴氏铜绿假单胞菌新组合（模式菌株LMG 18990(T)=DSM 11853(T)）、坎皮纳铜绿假单胞菌新组合（模式菌株LMG 19282(T)=CCUG 44526(T)）、吉拉尔迪铜绿假单胞菌新组合（模式菌株LMG 5886(T)=CCUG 38401(T)）、耐金属铜绿假单胞菌新组合（模式菌株LMG 1195(T)=DSM 2839(T)）、草酸铜绿假单胞菌新组合（模式菌株LMG 2235(T)=CCUG 2086(T)=DSM 1105(T)）、少动铜绿假单胞菌新组合（模式菌株LMG 3244(T)=CCUG 12507(T)）、呼吸铜绿假单胞菌新组合（模式菌株LMG 21510(T)=CCUG 46809(T)）和台湾铜绿假单胞菌新组合（模式菌株LMG 19424(T)=CCUG 44338(T)）。
