Notes:
- ⏰ According to Weiss et al. (1983), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of "Bacillus leichmanni" Henneberg 1903 but this is in conflict with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. Publication: Weiss N, Schillinger U, Kandler O. Lactobacillus lactis, Lactobacillus leichmannii and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Subjective Synonyms of Lactobacillus delbrueckii, and Description of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis comb. nov. and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus comb. nov. Syst Appl Microbiol 1983; 4:552-557.
- ⏰ According to Weiss et al. (1983), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Lactobacillus leichmannii (Henneberg 1903) Bergey et al. 1923 (Approved Lists 1980) but this is in conflict with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.

- ❗ Lactobacillus lactis 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.
