Notes:
- 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No". — The risk group for Swiss Confederation has been imported on 2024-02-01. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. 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 2 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
- 🙆 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the genus.
- 🧍 The genus Actinosporangium Krasil'nikov and Yuan 1961 (Approved Lists 1980) is reduced to synonymy with Streptomyces Waksman and Henrici 1943 (Approved Lists 1980). For Actinosporangium violaceum Krasil'nikov and Yuan 1961 (Approved Lists 1980), it is necessary to substitute a new specific epithet to produce Streptomyces paradoxus, because there is a senior homonym, Streptomyces violaceus (Rossi Doria 1891) Waksman 1953, cited on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names (Rules 34a and 41a). — The KCC number of the type strain of Streptomyces paradoxus Goodfellow et al. 1986 is incorrectly cited by the authors that proposed this nomen novum as KCC 3052 (sic).
