A Corrigendum on
Revisiting the Taxonomy of the Genus Arcobacter: Getting Order From the Chaos.

by Pérez-Cataluña, A., Salas-Massó, N., Diéguez, A. L., Balboa, S., Lema, A., Romalde, J. L., et al. (2018). Front. Microbiol. 9:2077. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.02077

In the original article, there was an error. The NCTC number for the strain type Arcobacter cryaerophilus, was incorrect. A correction has been made to the Conclusion, Description of Aliiarcobacter cryaerophilus comb. nov.:

The description is the same given by Neill et al. (1985). The type strain is A169/BT (= NCTC 11885T = ATCC 43158T).

There were also typographical errors of some Basonym descriptions.

A correction has been made to the Conclusion, Description of Pseudoarcobacter ellisii comb. nov., Malacobacter mytili comb. nov., Malacobacter canalis comb. nov., Malacobacter molluscorum comb. nov and Malacobacter pacificus comb. nov.:

Basonym: Arcobacter ellisii Figueras et al., 2011b

Basonym: Arcobacter mytili Collado et al., 2009

Basonym: Arcobacter canalis Pérez-Cataluña et al., 2018

Basonym: Arcobacter molluscorum Figueras et al., 2011a

and, Basonym: Arcobacter pacificus Zhang et al., 2016.

After indication of the nomenclature editors for validation of new bacterial names, the term Aliiarcobacter has been corrected to Aliarcobacter throughout the article.

In the original article, the reference for Zhang et al., 2015 was incorrectly written as Zhang, Z., Yu, C., Wang, X., Yu, S., and Zhang, X. H. (2015), It should be Zhang, Z., Yu, C., Wang, X., Yu, S., and Zhang, X. H. (2016).

The authors apologize for these errors and state that they do not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
