Notes:
- ❗ Bacteroides multiacidus 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 Bacteroides.

The full classification is: risk group = 2. — The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 2. — 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 6 times in PubMed until 2024-03-27.
- 🙅 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 multiacidus (sic) has been corrected in the new combination Mitsuokella multacida [see, Mitsuokella multacida corrig. (Mitsuoka et al. 1974) Shah and Collins 1983, comb. nov.]. However the name "Bacteroides multacidus" corrig. has never been formally proposed before December 14, 2000 (date of publication of the amended Rule 61; see Int. J. Syst. Evol. Microbiol., 2000, 50, page 2239, column 2). Consequently, in the "List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature", the epithet multiacidus (sic) has been maintained for Bacteroides multiacidus. Publication: Shah HN, Collins MD. Reclassification of Bacteroides multiacidus (Mitsuoka, Terada, Watanabe and Uchida) in a new genus Mitsuokella, as Mitsuokella multiacidus comb. nov. Zentralbl. Bakteriol. Parasitenkd. Infektionskr. Hyg. I Abt. Orig. C 1982; 3:491-494.
