The appearance of a name on this list does not constitute valid publication of that name. For lists of validly published names, including names published since this list was generated, and information on authorities of names etc., users should consult Jean Euzeby's List of Bacterial Names with Standing in Nomenclature (http://www.bacterio.cict.fr/index.html). Validly published names of genera and higher rank are linked to the relevant page on this site.

Genus Campylobacter (type genus) | |
Campylobacter fetus (type species) | Fifteen additional species, six subspecies |
Genus II Arcobacter | |
Arcobacter nitrofigilis (type species) | Three additional species, plus one Candidatus species |

Sulfurospirillum deleyianum (type species) | Five additional species |
Species incertae cedis | |
Family 'Helicobacteraceae' | Proposed: pending publication of Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, 2nd edition |
Genus Helicobacter (proposed type genus) | |
Helicobacter pylori (type species) | Twenty-three additional species: taxa have also been described as 'Gastrospirillum' and 'Flexispira' spp., although these names have no official nomenclatural standing |
Genus II Wolinella | |
Wolinella succinogenes (type species) | Genus currently contains one species only |
Additional taxa not assigned to Campylobacteraceae or 'Helicobacteraceae' | |
Genus Thiovulum | |
Thiovulum majus (type species) | Genus currently contains one species only |
Species incertae cedis | |
Order incertae cedis | |
Order Aquificales | The proposal to classify the Aquificales as epsilobacteria (Cavalier-Smith, 2002) is highly controversial and requires further study |
