• Notes:
  • ❗ Atlantibacter subterraneus 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 Atlantibacter.
  • 😷 The taxon name shown here has no risk group assigned, but is the homotypic synonym of Salmonella subterranea Shelobolina et al. 2005, which has a risk group (Swiss Confederation) above 1. This may require that the name shown here is not treated as the correct name for practical purposes.
  • 🎓 Name mentioned 0 times in PubMed until 2025-02-04.
  • 😴 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. This name is taxonomically suspended (and therefore not recommended for medical use for now) in favour of Salmonella subterranea Shelobolina et al. 2005. Publication: Shelobolina ES, Sullivan SA, O'Neill KR, Nevin KP, Lovley DR.
