A note on nomenclature. BK bio documents this strain as Lactobacillus lactis subsp. lactis CAB701, and that name is used throughout this page. Some supporting figures label the organism within the Lactobacillus group; the two genus names are not interchangeable. We retain the manufacturer's stated classification and flag the discrepancy for formulators who require an exact taxonomic record.
