Campylobacterota are a phylum of Gram-negative bacteria. ^[3]

Taxonomy

Until the 2021 revision of bacterial taxonomy by the ICSP, ^[4] the entire phylum was classified within the Proteobacteria (synonym Pseudomonadota) as the Epsilonproteobacteria and the Desulfurellales. ^[5] The separation of this phylum from "Proteobacteria" was originally proposed in 2017, using GTDB-based methods. ^[2]

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) ^[6] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). ^[7]
