Notes:
- Streptococcus faecalis 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 Streptococcus.
- Conserved epithet (Judicial Opinion 30). Only conservation of an epithet, and over all earlier homotypic synonyms. However, the phrasing would indicate that this implied the rejection of the competing epithets, which does not correspond to regulations in the current revision of the Code. Publication: Judicial Commission. Judicial Opinion No. 30. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1963; 13:167.
- The full TRBA 466 classification is: risk group = 2, note = "TA".
