It has long been thought that the genera Mobiluncus and Falcivibrio contain the same organisms. Using a polyphasic approach, it was found that Mobiluncus curtisii and Mobiluncus mulieris were the same as Falcivibrio vaginalis and Falcivibrio grandis, respectively. As the genus name Mobiluncus takes precedence, it is proposed that F. vaginalis and F. grandis be transferred to the genus Mobiluncus. In agreement with previous studies, results from phenotypic tests did not support the separation of M. curtisii strains into its two subspecies, M. curtisii subsp. curtisii and M. curtisii subsp. holmesii. Phenotypic complexity within M. curtisii dictates that the species should be treated as a complex until more in-depth analyses of the species have been performed. Phylogenetic analyses, based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, demonstrated that the genus Mobiluncus was associated with Varibaculum cambriense and the two subspecies of Actinomyces neuii, and that A. neuii is only distantly related to Actinomyces sensu stricto.
长期以来，人们一直认为动弯杆菌属和镰形弧菌属包含相同的生物体。采用多相分类法发现，柯氏动弯杆菌和女性动弯杆菌分别与阴道镰形弧菌和巨大镰形弧菌相同。由于动弯杆菌属的属名具有优先权，因此建议将阴道镰形弧菌和巨大镰形弧菌转移到动弯杆菌属。与先前的研究一致，表型试验结果不支持将柯氏动弯杆菌菌株分为其两个亚种，即柯氏动弯杆菌亚种柯氏动弯杆菌和柯氏动弯杆菌亚种霍氏动弯杆菌。柯氏动弯杆菌内的表型复杂性表明，在对该物种进行更深入的分析之前，应将该物种视为一个复合体。基于16S rRNA基因序列的系统发育分析表明，动弯杆菌属与坎布里亚变杆菌和纽氏放线菌的两个亚种相关，并且纽氏放线菌与狭义放线菌的关系仅为远缘关系。
