Eg.ger.thel.la'les. N.L. fem. n.
Eggerthella
, type genus of the order; suff. ‐

, ending to denote an order; N.L. fem. pl. n.
Eggerthellales
, the order of
Eggerthella
.
Actinobacteria / Coriobacteriia / Eggerthellales
The order contains the family
Eggerthellaceae
. The characteristics of this order are the same as that of the family
Eggerthellaceae
. The species of this order form a distinct clade in phylogenetic trees based on the concatenated sequences of different datasets of proteins. Additionally, the members of this order can be reliably distinguished from those of the order
Coriobacteriales
and other
Actinobacteria
, based on multiple molecular markers in the forms of conserved signature inserts/deletions in proteins that are exclusively present in the members of this order.
