  • 🧕 Goeker and Oren (2024) assigned this phylum to the domain Bacteria Woese et al. 2024. Publication: Goker M, Oren A. Valid publication of names of two domains and seven kingdoms of prokaryotes. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2024; 74:6242.
  • 🧕 Goeker and Oren (2024) assigned this phylum to the kingdom Pseudomonadati (Gibbons and Murray 1978) Oren and Göker 2024. Publication: Goker M, Oren A. Valid publication of names of two domains and seven kingdoms of prokaryotes. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2024; 74:6242.
  • 🧒 Oren and Garrity (2021) assigned the genus Campylobacter Sebald and Véron 1963 (Approved Lists 1980) to this phylum. Publication: Oren A, Garrity GM. Valid publication of the names of forty-two phyla of prokaryotes. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2021; 71:5056.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Campilobacteriota"; "Campilobacterota".
  • ❗ Campylobacterota is the correct name instead if this phylum is regarded as a separate phylum (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another phylum whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
  • ✏ The authority of the taxon name (Waite et al.) deliberately differs from the authors of the publication (Oren and Garrity).
