• Notes:
  • 🧕 Krieg et al. (2010) assigned this genus to the family Bacteroidaceae Pribram 1933 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Krieg NR, Ludwig W, Euzéby J, Whitman WB. Phylum XIV. Bacteroidetes phyl. nov. In: Krieg NR, Staley JT, Brown DR, Hedlund BP, Paster BJ, Ward NL, Ludwig W, Whitman WB (eds), Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, 2nd edn, vol. 4, Springer, New York, 2010, p. 25.
  • 🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Bacteroides Castellani and Chalmers 1919 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Hauduroy P, Ehringer G, Urbain A, Guillot G, Magrou J. Dictionnaire des bactéries pathogènes. Masson and Co., Paris, 1937.
  • 🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Bacillus Cohn 1872 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Veillon A, Zuber A. Recherches sur quelques microbes strictement anaérobies et leur rôle en pathologie. Archives de Mèdecine Expérimentale et d'Anatomie Pathologique 1898; 10:517-545.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Anaerorhabdius"; "Anaerorhahalus"; "Anaerorhahclus"; "Anaerorhahdus".
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: ATCC: 2.
  • 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 2, note = "Animal classification RG: 1 - Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No - Containment level: Containment Level 2".
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "ANRB" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM. Codes and abbreviations for approved of effectively published names of genera of bacteria published from January 1980 to December 1990. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1991; 41:571-579.
  • 🧍 The Greek word rhabdos is in the feminine gender. So, according to Rule 65 (2), the generic name Anaerorhabdus is in the feminine gender. Publication: Euzeby JP, Boemare NE. The modern Latin word rhabdus belongs to the feminine gender, inducing necessary corrections according to Rules 65(2), 12c(1) and 13b of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision). Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2000; 50:1691-1692.
