🧍 According to P.A.R. Vandamme [1], the subspecific epithet venerealis is incorrect. The formation of venerealis is derived from a combination of the Latin adjective venereus and the suffix -alis, used to form an adjective. As, it is grammatically incorrect to combine an adjective-forming suffix to a word that is already an adjective, the subspecific epithet should be venereus. However, members of the Subcommittee on the taxonomy of Campylobacter and related bacteria [2] reached a consensus to correct the etymology of the subspecific epithet venerealis. The correct etymology is: ve.ne.re.a'lis. N.L. (arbitrary) adj. venerealis, pertaining to venereal disease.Publication:

🧍 Members of the Subcommittee on the taxonomy of Campylobacter and related bacteria had noted that the specific epithet fetus was erroneously formed. This required correction of the spelling of the epithet or, alternatively, correction of the etymology. The subcommittee members reached a consensus to correct the etymology of the specific epithet fetus. The correct etymology is: fe'tus. L. masc. n. fetus, fetus, fruit; L. gen. masc. n. fetus, of a fetus.Publication:

🧍 On the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names and on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names (Amended Edition), the type strain is erroneously cited as ATCC 19483. — Tang J. Personal communication, 2001-04-05.
