- Bacteroides denticola is the correct name 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 Bacteroides.
- The strain NCDO 2352, cited in Validation List no. 8, does not appear in the UKNCC Strain databases or in The complete list of NCIMB bacterial strains. Publication: Anonymous. Validation list no. 8. Validation of publication of new names and new combinations previously effectively published outside the IJSB. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1982; 32:266-268.
