Microbial nomenclature underwent a large number of changes in the 1970s. Many species of pathogens were added and many others experienced name changes. These modifications primarily were due to two unrelated factors: the use of new DNA hybridization techniques and the advent of computerized literature searches to establish historical precedence. In 1980 an approved list of microbial names was published. This list fixed and legitimized bacterial nomenclature. All future additions or alterations to it had to pass international scientific committees. This list has now been accepted by the scientific community. The derivation of these names are presented in this review.
微生物命名法在20世纪70年代经历了大量变化。增加了许多病原体物种,还有许多其他物种经历了名称变更。这些修改主要归因于两个不相关的因素:新DNA杂交技术的使用以及计算机化文献检索的出现以确立历史优先权。1980年公布了一份微生物名称核准清单。这份清单确定并使细菌命名法合法化。此后对其的所有新增或更改都必须经过国际科学委员会。这份清单现已被科学界接受。本综述介绍了这些名称的由来。
