Notes:
- Bacteroides ureolyticus is the correct name instead if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Bacteroides.
- According to Bartlett et al. (2022), this species is an established human pathogen. Publication: Bartlett A, Padfield D, Lear L, Bendall R, Vos M. A comprehensive list of bacterial pathogens infecting humans. Microbiology 2022; 168:0.
- According to Vandamme et al., Bacteroides ureolyticus Jackson and Goodman 1978 (Approved Lists 1980) is clearly a member of the family Campylobacteraceae Vandamme and De Ley 1991. However, the authors do not believe that it should be renamed at this time and prefer to consider this taxon a species incertae sedis. In 2010, Vandamme et al. propose to reclassify this species incertae sedis into the genus Campylobacter as Campylobacter ureolyticus (Jackson and Goodman 1978) Vandamme et al. 2010, comb. nov. (see below). Publication: Vandamme P, Daneshvar MI, Dewhirst FE, Paster BJ, Kersters K, Goossens H, Moss CW. Chemotaxonomic analyses of Bacteroides gracilis and Bacteroides ureolyticus and reclassification of B. gracilis as Campylobacter gracilis comb. nov. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1995; 45:145-152.

- The full TRBA 466 classification is: risk group = 2, note = "ht".
