Notes:
- According to Johnson and Holdeman (1985), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Bacteroides capillus Kornman and Holt 1982. Publication: Johnson JL, Holdeman LV. Bacteroides capillus Kornman and Holt and Bacteroides pentosaceus Shah and Collins, later synonyms of Bacteroides buccae Holdeman et al. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1985; 35:114.
- According to Shah and Collins (1990), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Bacteroides pentosaceus Shah and Collins 1982. Publication: Shah HN, Collins DM. Prevotella, a new genus to include Bacteroides melaninogenicus and related species formerly classified in the genus Bacteroides. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1990; 40:205-208.
- Prevotella buccae 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 Prevotella.
- According to Bartlett et al. (2022), this species is an established human pathogen. Publication: Bartlett A, Padfield D, Lear L, Bendall R, Vos M. A comprehensive list of bacterial pathogens infecting humans. Microbiology 2022; 168:0.
- The phylogenetic position of this species was determined in a genome-scale analysis by García-López et al. (2019). Publication: Garcia-Lopez M, Meier-Kolthoff JP, Tindall BJ, Gronow S, Woyke T, Kyrpides NC, Hahnke RL, Goker M. Analysis of 1,000 Type-Strain Genomes Improves Taxonomic Classification of Bacteroidetes. Front Microbiol 2019; 10:2083.
- The full TRBA 466 classification is: risk group = 2, note = "ht".
