Resumen

Este trabajo ofrece un nuevo argumento a favor del pluralismo de especies en bacterias. Para ello, presento los conflictos derivados de la consideración de las especies de modo no teórico, como unidades de clasificación, frente a su tratamiento teórico como unidades de evolución. Después, justifico la necesidad de un concepto de especie para las bacterias; muestro el modo en que tanto la medicina como la investigación sobre endosimbiosis emplean distintos conceptos de especie bacteriana ligados a sus diferentes propósitos que no son coherentes con el resto de conceptos existentes. Por último, argumento que estos dos ejemplos proveen nueva evidencia en favor del pluralismo filosófico.
