Lancefieldella parvula is the current name for NCBITaxon:1382. Atopobium parvulum is a validly published historical homotypic synonym rather than the current canonical name.
Nouioui and colleagues transferred the species to the newly described genus Lancefieldella in a genome-based revision of Actinobacteria. Their description characterizes members of the genus as Gram-stain-positive, obligately anaerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming small rods. LPSN lists L. parvula as the type species of the genus and records Atopobium parvu
The sequenced type strain, IPP 1246 (DSM 20469), was described under the then-current name Atopobium parvulum. That genome report notes frequent isolation from the human oral cavity and an association with oral malodor, while distinguishing association from demonstrated causation.

Human Isolation Evidence#
The sequenced type strain, IPP 1246 (DSM 20469), was described under the then-current name Atopobium parvulum. That genome report notes frequent isolation from the human oral cavity and an association with oral malodor, while distinguishing association from demonstrated causation.[4]Complete genome sequence of Atopobium parvulum type strain (IPP 1246T)Alex Copeland, Johannes Sikorski, Alla Lapidus et al. · 2009Open reference 4 ↓
The current evidence cited here does not support the former page's claims of a specific iron requirement, cysteine-desulfhydrase-driven hydrogen-sulfide injury, oral-to-gut translocation, inflammatory bowel disease, or colorectal-cancer causation.
Literature Naming#
Studies published before or without adoption of the 2018 reclassification may accurately report Atopobium parvulum. WikiBiome preserves that historical display name when summarizing such studies, but the link resolves to this single current-name record.
