• 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.
