Notes:
- 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "t+". — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 4 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
- 🙆 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the genus.
- 🧍 Helicobacter cynogastricus sp. nov. JKM4T = LMG 23188T has been submitted to the CCUG and NCTC culture collections but, due to the extremely fastidious nature of Helicobacter species, the strain has not been able to be revived or stored after lyophilisation. Consequently, a committee consisting of the Chairman of the ICSP, the Chairman of the JC of the ICSP and the Editor of the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology has granted an exception in this instance to Rule 27(3) of the Bacteriological Code governing the deposit of type material in two different collections in two different countries.
