Notes:
- According to Coenye et al. (2004), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Stenotrophomonas africana Drancourt et al. 1997. Publication: Coenye T, Vanlaere E, Falsen E, Vandamme P. Stenotrophomonas africana Drancourt et al. 1997 is a later synonym of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (Hugh 1981) Palleroni and Bradbury 1993. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2004; 54:1235-1237.
- According to Van den Mooter and Swings (1990), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Pseudomonas betle (Ragunathan 1928) Savulescu 1947 (Approved Lists 1980) but this is in conflict with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. Publication: Van den Mooter M, Swings J. Numerical analysis of 295 phenotypic features of 266 Xanthomonas strains and related strains and an improved taxonomy of the genus.

- According to Van den Mooter and Swings (1990), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Pseudomonas beteli corrig.

- According to Van den Mooter and Swings (1990), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Pseudomonas hibiscicola Moniz 1963 (Approved Lists 1980) but this is in conflict with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.

- Pseudomonas maltophilia 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 Pseudomonas.

- However, the effective publication is a paper by Hugh and Ryschenkow 1961 [2]. Publication: Hugh R, Ryschenkow E. Pseudomonas maltophilia, an alcaligenes-like species. J Gen Microbiol 1961; 26:123-132.
- The name Pseudomonas maltophilia is also documented as Hugh and Ryschenkow 1960 [1]. Publication: Hugh R, Ryschenkow E. An alcaligenes-like Pseudomonas species. Bacteriol. Proc. 1960; 0:78.
- The full TRBA 466 classification is: risk group = 2, note = "ht".
