Streptomyces turgidiscabies is a streptomycete bacterium species, causing scab in potatoes. It has flexuous spore, the latter which are cylindrical and smooth. The type strain is SY9113T (= ATCC 700248T = IFO 16080T).[1] It is almost identical to Streptomyces reticuliscabiei; however, they are considered distinct species given the diseases they cause are different.[2]
