• Notes:
  • According to Wu and Zong (2020), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Enterobacter mori Zhu et al. 2011. Publication: Wu W, Zong Z. Genome analysis-based reclassification of Enterobacter tabaci Duan et al. 2016 as a later heterotypic synonym of Enterobacter mori Zhu et al. 2011. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2020; 70:1055-1058.
  • Synonymy of this taxon was mentioned in an IJSEM list. Publication: Oren A, Garrity GM. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 70, part 2 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2020; 70:2967-2971.
  • The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281.
  • Enterobacter tabaci is the correct name if this species is regarded as a separate species within a separate genus Enterobacter.
