The Mycobacteriales are an order of bacteria.[1] The current description is genome-based, per Gupta 2019 emendation. Most members produce mycolic acids.[3]
Phylogeny
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN).[2] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).[4]

Terminology
Mycolata has been used as a non-taxonomic term for mycolic acid-containing Actinobacteria. Mycobacteriales includes all such species, but it also includes some without mycolic acid, making these two terms imperfect, paraphyletic, aliases.[12]
