Streptococcus dysgalactiae (Diernhofer) nom. rev.

Streptococcus dysgalactiae did not appear on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names in 1980. This species is frequently isolated from milk and is well known as a cause of bovine mastitis. Deoxyribonucleic acid-deoxyribonucleic acid hybridization has shown that it is a species which is distinct from other species found in the same habitat. We propose that Streptococcus dysgalactiae be revived and recognized as a species, with NCDO 2023 as the type strain.
