Phenotypic and phylogenetic studies were performed on four Campylobacter-like organisms recovered from three seals and a porpoise. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies demonstrated that the organisms represent a hitherto unknown subline within the genus Campylobacter, associated with a subcluster containing Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli and Campylobacter lari. DNA-DNA hybridization studies confirmed that the bacteria belonged to a single species, for which the name Campylobacter insulaenigrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Campylobacter insulaenigrae sp. nov. is NCTC 12927(T) (=CCUG 48653(T)).
对从三只海豹和一只鼠海豚体内分离出的四种弯曲菌样微生物进行了表型和系统发育研究。比较16S rRNA基因测序研究表明,这些微生物代表弯曲菌属内一个迄今未知的亚系,与包含空肠弯曲菌、结肠弯曲菌和海鸥弯曲菌的一个亚簇相关。DNA-DNA杂交研究证实这些细菌属于单一物种,为此提出新种名称为岛屿弯曲菌(Campylobacter insulaenigrae sp. nov.)。岛屿弯曲菌新种的模式菌株为NCTC 12927(T)(=CCUG 48653(T))。
