• Notes:
  • ⏲ According to Schoenheyder et al. (1994), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Enterobacter cancerogenus (Urosevic 1966) Dickey and Zumoff 1988. Publication: Schonheyder HC, Jensen KT, Frederiksen W. Taxonomic notes: synonymy of Enterobacter cancerogenus (Urosevic 1966) Dickey and Zumoff 1988 and Enterobacter taylorae Farmer et al. 1985 and resolution of an ambiguity in the biochemical profile. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1994; 44:586-587.

  • ❗ Enterobacter taylorae 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 Enterobacter.
