• Notes:
  • 🙋 This subspecies could be automatically created (rule 40d) by the valid publication of Staphylococcus sciuri subsp. lentus Kloos et al. 1976 (Approved Lists 1980) but an explicit description was also provided. Publication: Kloos WE, Schleifer KH, Smith RF. Characterization of Staphylococcus sciuri sp. nov. and its subspecies. International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology 1976; 26:22-37.
  • ❗ Staphylococcus sciuri subsp. sciuri 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 the name to be applied to this subspecies. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded pathogenicity of the species itself.
