Notes:
- Bacteroides oulorum 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.
- There are some problems with the type strain of Prevotella oulorum. According to the CCUG, the type strain should be the following: Holbrook 179 = WPH 179 = ATCC 43324 = CCUG 54769 = JCM 14966 = NCTC 12747. Publication: Shah HN, Collins DM. Prevotella, a new genus to include Bacteroides melaninogenicus and related species formerly classified in the genus Bacteroides. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1990; 40:205-208.
