The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No". — The risk group for Swiss Confederation has been imported on 2024-02-01. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — 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 10 times in PubMed until 2025-06-04.
- 🙆 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as 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.

🧍 According to Ludwig et al. (2021), this "species is a true member of Lachnospira, and needs to be reclassified".

🧍 Yarza et al. (2013) expected for accession GU269544, originating from the alleged type-strain deposit ATCC 27753, an affiliation with Lactobacillaceae (Bacilli) but observed an affiliation with Lachnospiraceae (Clostridia) and 94.8% similarity against Lachnospira multipara.

🧍 Currently, the combination Lactobacillus rogosae is not represented by a type strain (Opinion 88, Judicial Commission of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes, IJSEM 64:3578-3579).
Publication:
Judicial Commission. Judicial Opinion No. 88. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2014; 64:3578-3579.
- 🧍 The type strain is not available in any established culture collection; therefore it cannot be included in any scientific study. Felis et al. request the rejection of the species name, at least until strains under accession process in the ATCC are available and confirmed as belonging to the Lactobacillus.
