The fully specified name (FSN) of organism concept names are officially recognized Linnaean taxonomic classes and include a designation of rank including but not limited to Phylum, Order, Suborder, Class, Family, Genus, and subspecies. The official names of organisms may include abbreviations such as “subg.“ (Kingdom Plantae) and “subsp.” and “subgen.” (Domain Bacteria), but when requesting changes you should expand word and not include an abbreviation.
The non-Linnaean categories of organisms are reflected in SNOMED CT concepts which identifies a staining property, a physiological characteristic (that the organism requires oxygen) and a description of the organism’s morphology (that it is rod-shaped). These are among the properties used in a laboratory to determine the identity of a bacterial organism in a specimen, culture, or isolate. e.g Gram-negative aerobic rod (organism) or Deoxyribonucleic acid virus (organism)
