However, E. foedans was not included on the Approved Lists because there are no known cultures of this organism. Consequently, the Judicial Commission of the International Committee on Systematic Bacteriology is requested to issue an Opinion designating Eubacterium limosum (Eggerth) Prévot as the type species. The type strain of E. limosum is ATCC 8486.", }
