Risk group: 2

Synonyms:

Name	Kind
Helicobacter mustelae (Fox et al. 1988) Goodwin et al. 1989	homotypic synonym, validly published under the ICNP
Campylobacter pylori subsp. mustelae Fox et al. 1988	homotypic synonym, validly published under the ICNP, distinct rank

Notes:
- Campylobacter mustelae is the correct name 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 Campylobacter.
- The name Campylobacter pylori subsp. mustelae Fox et al. 1988 has been proposed for strains isolated from ferrets because high levels of deoxyribonucleic acid relatedness of these strains to the type strain of Campylobacter pylori corrig. Marshall et al. 1985. Subsequent deoxyribonucleic acid relatedness studies indicate that the original results were in error. The strains isolated from ferrets are members of a species that is distinct from Campylobacter pylori and elevated to species status. Publication: Fox JG, Taylor NS, Edmonds P, Brenner DJ. Campylobacter pylori subsp. mustelae subsp. nov. isolated from the gastric mucosa of ferrets (Mustela putorius furo), and an emended description of Campylobacter pylori. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1988; 38:367-370.
- The full TRBA 466 classification is: risk group = 2, note = "t".
