Notes:
- Lactobacillus catenaformis 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 Lactobacillus.
- The original spelling of the specific epithet, catenaforme (sic), has been corrected by Hill et al. 1984. Publication: Hill LR, Skerman VBD, Sneath PHA. Corrigenda to the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names edited for the International Committee on Systematic Bacteriology. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1984; 34:508-511.
- The full TRBA 466 classification is: risk group = 1, note = "+".
