<i>Campylobacter sputorum</i> subsp. <i>bovis</i> subsp. nov., isolated from cattle, and an emended description of <i>Campylobacter sputorum</i>.

ABSTRACT: Six urease-negative Campylobacter strains were isolated from cattle faeces over a 19-month period from 2009 to 2010. These strains were initially identified as Campylobacter sputorum by 16S rRNA gene and atpA typing. Initial studies characterizing these strains by multilocus sequence typing and genome sequencing further supported their classification as C. sputorum but indicated that these strains form a divergent clade within the species. A polyphasic study was undertaken here to clarify their taxonomic position. Phylogenetic analyses were performed based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and the concatenated sequences of 330 core genes, with the latter analysis also placing the six strains into a clade distinct from the three C. sputorum biovars.
