Mollicutes
is that recently proposed sweeping changes to nomenclature of members of the
Mycoplasmatales
, specifically involving introduction of the names
Malacoplasma
gen. nov.,
Mesomycoplasma
gen. nov.,
Metamycoplasma
gen. nov.,
Metamycoplasmataceae
fam. nov.,
Mycoplasmoidaceae
fam. nov.,
Mycoplasmoidales
ord. nov.,
Mycoplasmoides
gen. nov.,
Mycoplasmopsis
gen. nov., and all proposed species or subspecies comb. nov. placed therein, should be rejected because they violate one or more essential points of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.
