- 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Campilobacteriota"; "Campilobacterota"; "Campylobacteriota".
- ❗ 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).
