Serratia marcescens sakuensis Ajithkumar et al. 2003
Nomenclatural History
The subspecies Serratia marcescens sakuensis was originally described and validly published by Ajithkumar et al. 2003. Cho et al. established this name as a later heterotypic synonym of (Bizio 1823) Ajithkumar et al. 2003 in 2020.

Doijad and Chakraborty suggest that based on genomic related indexing and phylogenomic treeing, this taxon does not satisfy the genomic criteria for defining a subspecies.
