Abstract
The bacterial genus Serpula Stanton et al. 1991 is illegitimate due to the existence of a fungal genus Serpula Pers. ex S. F. Gray. Consequently, a new genus designation, Serpulina, is proposed for this spirochete genus. Serpula hyodysenteriae, the type species, and Serpula innocens Stanton et al. 1991, therefore, become Serpulina hyodysenteriae comb. nov. and Serpulina innocens comb. nov.Keywords
