  • Notes:
    • ⏲ According to Love (1995), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Bacteroides macacae (Slots and Genco 1980) Coykendall et al. 1980. Publication: Love DN. Porphyromonas macacae comb. nov., a consequence of Bacteroides macacae being a senior synonym of Porphyromonas salivosa. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1995; 45:90-92. 🇦🇺

    • ❗ Bacteroides salivosus 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.
