• Notes:
  • 📠 This subspecies was automatically created by the valid publication of Veillonella parvula subsp. atypica Rogosa 1965 (Approved Lists 1980) according to rule 40d. Publication: Rogosa M. The Genus Veillonella IV. Serological Groupings, and Genus and Species Emendations. J Bacteriol 1965; 90:704-709.
  • 📠 This subspecies was automatically created by the valid publication of Veillonella parvula subsp. rodentium Rogosa 1965 (Approved Lists 1980) according to rule 40d. Publication: Rogosa M. The Genus Veillonella IV. Serological Groupings, and Genus and Species Emendations. J Bacteriol 1965; 90:704-709.
  • ❗ Veillonella parvula subsp. parvula 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 Veillonella parvula within a separate genus Veillonella.
  • 🙆 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 risk group of the species itself.
  • 🧍 If an author accepts the elevation of Veillonella parvula subsp. atypica Rogosa 1965 (Approved Lists 1980), and the elevation of Veillonella parvula subsp. rodentium Rogosa 1965 (Approved Lists 1980) to full species status, then Veillonella parvula subsp. parvula (Veillon and Zuber 1898) Rogosa 1965 (Approved Lists 1980) should thereafter be designated simply as Veillonella parvula (Veillon and Zuber 1898) Prévot 1933 (Approved Lists 1980).
