🥱 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 pathogenicity of the species itself. This name is not taxonomically suspended any more (but still isn't preferred) in favour of Bacteroides oralis Loesche et al. 1964 (Approved Lists 1980).
