  • 🏢 Synonymy of this taxon was mentioned in an IJSEM list. Publication: Oren A, Garrity GM. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 70, part 11 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2021; 71:4645.
  • ❗ Staphylococcus carnosus subsp. utilis 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 Staphylococcus carnosus within a separate genus Staphylococcus.
  • 🧬 The phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is 0.17883 (N = 4).
  • 😷 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 a synonym of the name to be applied to this subspecies. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the genus.
  • 🧍 The proposal for the new subspecies Staphylococcus carnosus subsp. utilis Probst et al. 1998 is supported by the results of Pantucek et al. Publication: Pantucek R, Sedlacek I, Doskar J, Rosypal S. Complex genomic and phenotypic characterization of the related species Staphylococcus carnosus and Staphylococcus piscifermentans.
