Notes:
- ⏲ According to Kilian et al. (2025), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Streptococcus mitis Andrewes and Horder 1906 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Kilian M, Slotved HC, Fuursted K, D'Mello A, Tettelin H. Re-evaluation of boundaries of Streptococcus mitis and Streptococcus oralis and demonstration of multiple later synonyms of Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus oralis and Streptococcus thalassemiae: description of Streptococcus mitis subsp. carlssonii subsp. nov. and emended description of Streptococcus mitis. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2025; 75:6704. 🇩🇰
- 🏢 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 75, part 3 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2025; 75:6765.
- ❗ Streptococcus chosunensis 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 Streptococcus.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 1 time in PubMed until 2025-10-14.
- 🙅 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 pathogenicity of the species itself.

Parent taxon: Streptococcus Rosenbach 1884 (Approved Lists 1980)
