Rhodococcus equi has been given its own new genus: Prescottia from Jones, Sutcliffe and Goodfellow (2013) Prescottia equi gen. nov., comb. nov.: a new home for an old pathogen, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 103 (3), pp. 655-671, doi:10.1007/s10482-012-9850-8

I'm not sure what to do with this. I don't want to create this big move off of one source, but I do want to accurately reflect the literature. I think I'm going to leave it be for now: see
a name correction paper, I want to see some citations first.

I added a section about the debate over the name. The debate has been going on for over 30 years, and doesn't look like it will be finalized soon.

Just noticed this morning that the V10 Bruker MALDI-TOF database calls it Rhodococcus hoagii.
NCBI taxonomy browser is (as of 22 June 2021) calling it Rhodococcus hoagii with equi being a homotypic synonym.
The reason for the change is that, as a species name, hoagii predates equi by a decade (Morse 1912 for hoagii, Magnusson 1923 for equi).
