Notes:
- Bacteroides multiacidus 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 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.
