Abstract
With the proliferation of abundant bacterial genomic data comes the recognition of new organisms as well as a better understanding of the relatedness of known bacteria. Recognizing the associated taxonomic changes enhances communication and understanding about the significance of novel organisms and deeper understanding of known pathogens. This review addresses the addition of multiple gastrointestinal bacteria that form the normal microbiota in a variety of animals including honeybees as well as novel bacteria from domestic animals including an alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus species from guinea pigs, two Moraxella spp. from cows and goats, a new Capnocytophaga species from cats, a thermophilic Campylobacter species from pigs, and the new Exercitatus genus in Family Pasteurellaceae. Several revisions to the nomenclature also appeared in 2023 including the change of Clostridium spiroforme, which causes anorexia and diarrhea in domestic rabbits, to Thomasclavelia spiroformis comb. nov. and Mannheimia ovis to Mannheimia pernigra.
