Notes:
- ⏲ According to Lee et al. (2025), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Actinomadura kijaniata Horan and Brodsky 1982. Publication: Lee SD, Yang HL, Kim IS. Actinomadura opuntiae Sp. Nov., Isolated from a Soil of Cactus and the Reclassification of Actinomadura namibiensis Wink Et Al. 2003 as a Later Heterotypic Synonym of Actinomadura kijaniata Horan and Brodsky 1982. Curr Microbiol 2025; 82:517. 🇰🇷
- 🏢 Synonymy of this taxon was mentioned in an IJSEM list. Publication: Oren A, Göker M. List of changes in taxonomic opinion no. 44. Notification of changes in taxonomic opinion previously published outside the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2026; 76:7140.
- ❗ Actinomadura namibiensis is the correct name instead if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Actinomadura.
- 😷 The risk group for Swiss Confederation has been imported on 2024-02-01. The full classification is: risk group = 2. — The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2026-08-13. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 9 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
- 🙅 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as a synonym of the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the species itself.
- 🧍 The specific epithet is a "N.L. fem. adj.", not a "N.L. gen. n." as cited in the paper by Wink et al. 2003. Publication: Euzeby JP. List of Bacterial Names with Standing in Nomenclature: a folder available on the Internet. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1997; 47:590-592. 🇫🇷
