Notes:
- ⏲ According to Li et al. (2024), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Sphingobacterium cellulitidis Huys et al. 2017. Publication: Li S, Liu J, Huang J, Dong L, Li WJ. Genome-based reclassification of Sphingobacterium soli Fu et al. 2017 as a later heterotypic synonym of Sphingobacterium cellulitidis Huys et al. 2017 and proposal of Sphingobacterium siyangense subsp. siyangense subsp. nov. and Sphingobacterium siyangense subsp. cladoniae subsp. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2024; 74:6610. 🇨🇳
- 🏢 Synonymy of this taxon was mentioned in an IJSEM list. Publication: Oren A, Göker M. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 74, part 12 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2025; 75:6650.
- ❗ Sphingobacterium soli 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 Sphingobacterium.
- 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2026-08-13. 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 4 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
- 🙅 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as a synonym of the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the genus.
