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 Streptococcus faecalis; the current name is Enterococcus faecalis, NCBI taxid 1351. Both refer to the same organism. This site prints the source's name in the source's own row and the current name here.
