Notes:

🧍 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).
