Notes:
- ⏰ According to Teixeira et al. (1996), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Enterococcus seriolicida Kusuda et al. 1991. Publication: Teixeira LM, Merquior VL, Vianni MC, Carvalho MG, Fracalanzza SE, Steigerwalt AG, Brenner DJ, Facklam RR. Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of atypical Lactococcus garvieae strains isolated from water buffalos with subclinical mastitis and confirmation of L. garvieae as a senior subjective synonym of Enterococcus seriolicida. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1996; 46:664-668. 🇧🇷
- ❗ Streptococcus garvieae 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.
