Notes:
🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Escherichia Castellani and Chalmers 1919 (Approved Lists 1980).Publication:

🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Altantibacter".
❗ Atlantibacter is the correct name instead if this genus is regarded as a separate genus (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another genus whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: CIP: 4; ATCC: 3; DSM: 3; HAMBI: 1; NBRC: 1; CCUG: 1; LMG: 1; JCM: 1.
