• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Arcobacter Vandamme et al. 1991. Publication: Vandamme P, Falsen E, Rossau R, Hoste B, Segers P, Tytgat R, De Ley J. Revision of Campylobacter, Helicobacter, and Wolinella taxonomy: emendation of generic descriptions and proposal of Arcobacter gen. nov. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1991; 41:88-103.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Aliiarcobacter".
  • 🧔 This taxon was discussed in a meeting of a Taxonomic Subcommittee of the ICSP. Publication: On SLW. International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP) Subcommittee on the Taxonomy of Campylobacter and related bacteria: minutes of the closed meetings, 17 January and 31 January 2024. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2025; 75:6618.
  • 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Whiteduck-Leveillee et al. (2016), De Smet et al. (2011), Vandamme et al. (1992). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
  • ❗ Aliarcobacter is the correct name instead if this genus is regarded as a separate genus (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another genus whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: LMG: 11; CCUG: 8; DSM: 6; CIP: 5; ATCC: 3; NCTC: 3; CECT: 1.
  • 🧍 The dissection of Arcobacter was opposed by On et al. (2020). Publication: On SLW, Miller WG, Biggs PJ, Cornelius AJ, Vandamme P.
