The taxonomic relationship between these two strains was re-examined here using a polyphasic approach. A DNA–DNA hybridization value of 98 % confirmed that the two type strains belong to a single taxon, while the phenotypic profiles were found to be nearly identical. Therefore we propose Gibbsiella papilionis as a later heterotypic synonym of Gibbsiella dentisursi, with the type strain as NUM 1720T ( = DSM 23818T = JCM 17201T)., language=, type=
