These strains were initially identified as members of the Campylobacter lari group by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and placed into a distinct group in the genus Campylobacter, following atpA gene sequence analysis based on whole-genome sequencing data. This taxonomic position was confirmed by phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA, rpoB and hsp60 (groEL) loci, and an analysis of the core genome that provided an improved phylogenetic resolution. The average nucleotide identity between the representative strain CA656T (CCUG 73571T=CIP 111675T) and the type strain of the most closely related species Campylobacter ornithocola WBE38T was 88.5 %. The strains were found to be microaerobic and anaerobic, motile, non-spore-forming, Gram-stain-negative, spiral-shaped bacteria that exhibit catalase, oxidase and urease activities but not nitrate reduction. This study demonstrates clearly that the nine isolates represent a novel species within the C. lari group, for which the name Campylobacter armoricus is proposed. Here, we present phenotypic and morphological features of the nine strains and the description of their genome sequences. The proposed type strain CA656T has a 1.589 Mbp chromosome with a DNA G+C content of 28.5 mol% and encodes 1588 predicted coding sequences, 38 tRNAs, and 3 rRNA operons.   PY 2019 PD DEC SO International Journal Of Systematic And Evolutionary Microbiology SN 1466-5026 PU Microbiology Society VL 69 IS 12 UT 000500924000046 BP 3969 EP 3979 DI 10.1099/ijsem.0.003836 ID 70346 ER EF
