Campylobacter mucosalis (Lawson, Leaver, Pettigrew, and Rowland 1981) comb. nov.: Emended Description Roop, R. Martin and Smibert, R. M. and Johnson, John L. and Krieg, Noel R.,, 35, 189-192 (1985), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-35-2-189, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= Seven strains of Campylobacter sputorum subsp. mucosalis, reference strains of Campylobacter fetus, Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli, Campylobacter laridis, “Campylobacter hyointestinalis” “Campylobacter fecalis” C. sputorum subsp. sputorum, C. sputorum subsp. bubulus, and Campylobacter nitrofigilis, aerotolerant Campylobacter sp. strain 02790, and catalase-negative or weakly catalase-positive strain CG-1 were compared with C. sputorum subsp. mucosalis type strain NCTC 11000 in deoxyribonucleic acid hybridization experiments. Strain NCTC 11000T (T = type strain) showed a high level of deoxyribonucleic acid homology with all of the C. sputorum subsp. mucosalis strains tested, but no significant homology with any of the other reference strains used, including C. sputorum subsp. sputorum and C. sputorum subsp. bubulus strains. Based on these observations, we propose that C. sputorum subsp. mucosalis be reclassified as Campylobacter mucosalis comb. nov., language=, type=
