• Notes:
  • According to Suerbaum et al. (2002), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Campylobacter pyloridis (sic) Marshall et al. 1985. Publication: Suerbaum S, Kraft C, Dewhirst FE, Fox JG. Helicobacter nemestrinae ATCC 49396T is a strain of Helicobacter pylori (Marshall et al. 1985) Goodwin et al. 1989, and Helicobacter nemestrinae Bronsdon et al. 1991 is therefore a junior heterotypic synonym of Helicobacter pylori. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2002; 52:437-439.

  • According to the subcommittee on the taxonomy of Campylobacter and related bacteria it seems necessary to re-examine the taxonomic status of Helicobacter nemestrinae Bronsdon et al. 1991. Publication: On SL. International Committee on Systematic Bacteriology Subcommittee on the taxonomy of Campylobacter and related bacteria. Minutes of the meetings, 13 and 16 September 1999, Baltimore, USA. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2000; 50:1401-1403.
  • Although, DNA-DNA hybridization data are required to determine the taxonomic status of Helicobacter nemestrinae, unequivocally, the members of the Subcommittee on the taxonomy of Campylobacter and related bacteria felt that the current evidence strongly indicated that the Helicobacter nemestrinae type strain was, in fact, an Helicobacter pylori strain [2].
