Yersinia pseudotuberculosis pestis Bercovier et al. 1981 Opinion 60. The name Yersinia pseudotuberculosis subsp. pestis (van Loghem) Bercovier et al. 1981 is placed on the list of nomen rejicienda because the use of the name could have serious consequences for human welfare and health. The name Yersinia pestis is conserved for the plague bacillus. The opinion does not challenge the scientific evidence, which indicates the taxonomic relatedness of bacteria named Yersinia pestis and Yersinia pseudotu berculosis.
