Correction to: Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (2018) 111:1583–1630 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10482-018-1047-3

In Tables 9, 10 and 11 of this paper, a few minor errors were noticed in the information for the type strains of the following new name combinations proposed in our paper.

  • Table 9: Metamycoplasma subdolum comb. nov.

  • Table 10: Mesomycoplasma bovoculi comb. nov.

  • Table 10: Mesomycoplasma dispar comb. nov.

  • Table 11: Mycoplasmopsis columbina comb. nov.

  • Table 11: Mycoplasmopsis felis comb. nov.

To rectify these errors, in the table below, we are now providing revised protologues of these new name combinations with the correct information for the type strains indicated in the last column of the table.
