                                In 2020, a major taxonomic overhaul of the Lactobacillus genus led to many well-known probiotic species receiving new names. This included the reclassification of the species, resulting in a new name for Lactobacillus fermentum. This significant change was driven by advancements in genomic sequencing, providing a more precise way to classify these bacteria.
