共116株红球菌属（以前的Gordona）最近从肺部疾病患者的呼吸道中分离出来，与61个属于红球菌属，诺卡氏菌属和分枝杆菌属的参考菌株一起进行数值分类。用109个性状和98个性状两种方法进行数量分类。这两种方法得到的结果几乎相似，并区分出以下聚类：（i）支气管红球菌（别名：支气管戈登氏菌）; nov.; (iii)R. rubropertinctus（异名：G. rubropertincta）;（iv）红隔草R. rhodochrous（异名：G. rhodochroa）;（v）R. aurantiacus（异名：G. aurantiaca）;（vi）R. lentifragmentus（异名：G. lentifragmenta）;（vii）从M. Ridell;（viii）N. asteroides;（ix）N. farcinica;（x）偶发分枝杆菌。聚类i至vii合并成一个大聚类，其被认为是红球菌属（Rhodococcus）（同义词：Gordona）。此外，在红球菌群中可以观察到两个（方法I）或四个（方法II）新的簇。因此，认为红球菌属生物体形成包含许多种的属。G. teraconitrile和G. rosea并入R. rubropertinctus（G. rubropertincta），并被认为是R.红癍雀属其中最大的一个新的集群命名为Rhodococcus dagii sp. nov. Tsukamura。在这项研究中提出了它的定义。提出了将戈登氏菌属名改为红球菌属名的建议。
A total of 116 strains of Rhodococcus (formerly Gordona) recently isolated from sputa of patients with pulmonary disease were submitted to numerical classification together with 61 reference strains belonging to the genera Rhodococcus, Nocardia, and Mycobacterium. The numerical classification was carried out by two methods, one using 109 characters and another using 98 characters. Almost similar results were obtained by these two methods, and the following clusters were distinguished: (i) Rhodococcus bronchialis (synonym: Gordona bronchialis); (ii) R. sputi sp. nov.; (iii) R. rubropertinctus (synonym: G. rubropertincta); (iv) R. rhodochrous (synonym: G. rhodochroa); (v) R. aurantiacus (synonym: G. aurantiaca); (vi) R. lentifragmentus (synonym: G. lentifragmenta); (vii) Nocardia rubra strains received from M. Ridell; (viii) N. asteroides; (ix) N. farcinica; (x) Mycobacterium fortuitum. Clusters i to vii were combined into one large cluster, which was considered as the genus Rhodococcus (synonym: Gordona). In addition, two (method I) or four (method II) new clusters could be observed among the cluster Rhodococcus. Thus, it was considered that the Rhodococcus organisms form a genus that contains a number of species. G. terrae and G. rosea were incorporated into the cluster of R. rubropertinctus (G. rubropertincta), and were considered to be reduced to varieties of the species R. rubropertinctus. The largest one of the new clusters was named Rhodococcus sputi sp. nov. Tsukamura. Its definition is presented in this study. A proposal of changing the generic name from Gordona to Rhodococcus was made.
