We studied strains of “Campylobacter sputorum subsp. mucosalis” isolated from intestinal adenomatosis from several sources. Our results supported the contention that this organism should be regarded as a distinct subspecies of Campylobacter sputorum. However, since the name of this organism was not included on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names, we propose it as a revived name (i.e., Campylobacter sputorum subsp. mucosalis subsp. nov., nom. rev.). The type strain is FS253/72 (= NCTC 11000). The guanine-plus-cytosine content of the deoxyribonucleic acid of this organism supports its inclusion within the genus Campylobacter, but in its hydrogen dependence this organism shows clear similarities to the human oral vibrios and to Vibrio succinogenes. However, “C. sputorum subsp. mucosalis” possesses an unusual type c cytochrome, and in this way it appears to differ from V. succinogenes. It may be differentiated readily from other members of the species C. sputorum by salt and glycine tolerance tests or by serological techniques.
