Notes:
- ❗ Lactobacillus curtus 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 Lactobacillus.
- 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 1 time in PubMed until 2025-06-04.
- 🙅 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 risk group of other species in the genus.
- 🧍 The type strain was formerly deposited in the VTT culture collection as a strain of Lactobacillus rossiae. Publication: Corsetti A, Settanni L, van Sinderen D, Felis GE, Dellaglio F, Gobbetti M. Lactobacillus rossii sp. nov., isolated from wheat sourdough. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2005; 55:35-40. 🇮🇹
