• Notes:
  • 😩 Deposits incorrectly indicated in some sources as representing the type strain of this taxon: JCM 34176; LMG 31897.
  • 🙂 Spelling correction conducted by LPSN on 2022-08-08.
  • 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2026-08-13. 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.
  • 🙆 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as the name to be applied to this subspecies. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of other species in the genus.
