25 Feb 2020 --- This year will see a taxonomic reclassification of the Lactobacillus genus take place, which will mean numerous commercial species currently sold as belonging to the Lactobacillus genus will receive a new name. BioGaia’s Lactobacillus reuteri will be one of the affected species, with the company stressing that the organism itself will remain unchanged in terms of effects and safety. Other species affected include Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus sakei, Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus brevis.
