Notes:
- ⏰ According to Manachini et al. (2002), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Streptococcus waius Flint et al. 1999. Publication: Manachini PL, Flint SH, Ward LJ, Kelly W, Fortina MG, Parini C, Mora D. Comparison between Streptococcus macedonicus and Streptococcus waius strains and reclassification of Streptococcus waius (Flint et at. 1999) as Streptococcus macedonicus (Tsakalidou et al. 1998).

- 📧 The e-mail address of the corresponding author given in the effective publication is not functional any more.
- ❗ Streptococcus macedonicus 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.
