Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology differs from Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology in that the former
groups bacteria into species
groups bacteria according to phylogenetic relationships
groups bacteria according to pathogenic properties
groups bacteria into 19 species
all of the above
