Abstract

There is some degree of confusion surrounding Rule 15 of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria and the fact that it appears to contradict the general principle of priority, which is central to codes of nomenclature. The present overview attempts to highlight the problem and also to provide a basis for discussion towards a solution.
