The full classification is: risk group = 1. — 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.
    • 🎓 Name mentioned 26 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
    • 🙆 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of other species in the genus.
    • 🧍 According to Bartlett et al. (2022), this species was isolated from feces in healthy individuals. Publication: Bartlett A, Padfield D, Lear L, Bendall R, Vos M. A comprehensive list of bacterial pathogens infecting humans. Microbiology (Reading) 2022; 168:0. 🇬🇧
    • 🧍 In the paper by Liu et al. 2008, the basonym Ruminococcus hydrogenotrophicus is erroneously cited as Ruminococcus hydrogenotrophicus Bernalier et al. 1996. Publication: Bernalier A, Willems A, Leclerc M, Rochet V, Collins MD. Ruminococcus hydrogenotrophicus sp. nov., a new H2/CO2-utilizing acetogenic bacterium isolated from human feces.
