- ❗ Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum 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 Lactiplantibacillus plantarum within a separate genus Lactiplantibacillus.
- 🙆 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.
