  • 📧 The e-mail address of the corresponding author given in the effective publication is not functional any more.
  • ❗ Paenibacillus larvae subsp. pulvifaciens is the correct name instead if this subspecies is regarded as a separate subspecies (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another subspecies whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate species Paenibacillus larvae within a separate genus Paenibacillus.
  • 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "Animal classification RG: 2 - Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: Yes". — The risk group for Swiss Confederation has been imported on 2024-02-01. The full classification is: risk group = 2, note = "PI". — The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2026-08-13. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "+, n2". — 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 a synonym of the name to be applied to this subspecies. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the species itself.
  • 🧍 In the paper by Heyndrickx et al. 1996, the type strain ATCC 49843 is erroneously cited as ATCC 13537. — Tang J. Personal communication, 2001-09-06.
