Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology

The change in volume set to "Systematic Bacteriology" came in a new contract in 1980, whereupon the new style included "relationships between organisms" and had "expanded scope" overall. This new style was picked up for a four-volume set"The new format, which has an expanded scope and examines relationships between organisms (systematics), is called Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology. Work on the first volume in the four-volume sequence began in 1980 and was ...", [https://books.google.com/books?id=CKEgLmqfbRQC&pg=PA361 "Microbiology"] by Daniel V. Lim, Kendall Hunt, 2003 that first began publishing in 1984. The information in the volumes was separated as:

Volume 1 included information on all types of Gram-negative bacteria that were considered to have "medical and industrial importance." Volume 2 included information on all types of Gram-positive bacteria. Volume 3 deals with all of the remaining, slightly different Gram-negative bacteria, along with the Archaea. Volume 4 has information on filamentous actinomycetes and other, similar bacteria.[https://books.google.com/books?id=n_P7vs94fsgC&dq=%22Bergey%27s+Manual+of+Systematic+Bacteriology%22&pg=PA40 "Bergey's Manuals"], Understanding bacteria by Sheela Srivastava, Springer, 2003, Pg. 40

The current volumes differ drastically from previous volumes in that many higher taxa are not defined in terms of phenotype, but solely on 16S phylogeny, as is the case of the classes within Proteobacteria.

The current grouping is:

Bergey's Manual Trust was established in 1936 to sustain the publication of Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology and supplementary reference works. The Trust also recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to bacterial taxonomy by presentation of the Bergey Award and Bergey Medal, jointly supported by funds from the Trust and from Springer, the publishers of the Manual.

Bergey's Manual Trust and John Wiley & Sons, Inc. co-publish the online encyclopedia Bergey's Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria (BMSAB). On 2019, the Trust decided to include phylogenomic in the BMSAB using the classification provided by the Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB).{{cite web |author=The DSMZ |title=Recent News. Incorporation of Phylogenomics into BMSAB |url=https://www.bergeys.org/ |work=Bergeys.org |date=2019 }}

The Annals of Internal Medicine described the volumes as "clearly written, precise, and easy to read" and "particularly designed for those interested in taxonomy."[http://www.annals.org/content/102/1/151.3.short "Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology"], Book Reviews, Notes, and Listings, Annals of Internal Medicine
