The name changed, the organism did not
The literature this site draws on predates the 2020 reclassification, which split the genus Lactobacillus into twenty-five genera. Papers written before it say Lactobacillus casei; the current name is Lacticaseibacillus casei, NCBI taxid 1582. Both refer to the same organism. This site prints the source's name in the source's own row and the current name here.
