• Notes:
  • ❗ Staphylococcus sciuri subsp. rodentium 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 sciuri within a separate genus Staphylococcus.
  • 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "Animal classification RG: 1 - Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No - Containment level: Containment Level 1". — 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 2026-08-13. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "+, t2". — 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.
  • 🧍 Švec et al. (2016) reject the subspeciation of Staphylococcus sciuri into Staphylococcus sciuri subsp. sciuri, Staphylococcus sciuri subsp. carnaticus and Staphylococcus sciuri subsp. rodentium and propose their reclassification as Staphylococcus sciuri with type strain W.E. Kloos SC 116=ATCC 29062=BCRC 12927=CCM 3473=CCUG 15598=CNCTC 5683=DSM 20345=JCM 2425=NCTC 12103. However, as these authors are not proposing to reclassify Staphylococcus sciuri subsp. lentus the name Staphylococcus sciuri subsp. sciuri must be retained.
