The new name for the plague bacillus (formerly "Yersinia pestis") is Y. pseudotuberculosis subsp. pestis, while the pseudotuberculosis bacillus is named Y. pseudotuberculosis subsp. pseudotuberculosis. Any tendency to abbreviate these names on labels of cultures, especially by omitting the subspecies epithet, must be avoided because of the risk of confusion between the dangerous plague organism and the pseudotuberculosis bacillus.
鼠疫杆菌(以前称为“鼠疫耶尔森菌”)的新名称是假结核耶尔森菌鼠疫亚种,而假结核杆菌则命名为假结核耶尔森菌假结核亚种。由于存在将危险的鼠疫病原体与假结核杆菌混淆的风险,必须避免在培养物标签上缩写这些名称的任何倾向,尤其是省略亚种学名。
