🧍 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).

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.
