Additionally, a\n                    <jats:italic>Campylobacter<\/jats:italic>\n                    isolate designated CCS1377, originating from the Classical Karst region near Illyrian Bistrica, was initially identified as a relative of\n                    <jats:italic>C. coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    through preliminary identification using multiplex PCR and MALDI-TOF MS. However, these methods did not allow a definite classification of the isolate. In-depth phenotypic analysis revealed characteristics of CCS1377 that were distinct from\n                    <jats:italic>C. coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Campylobacter jejuni<\/jats:italic>\n                    type strains. This included a unique cell and colony morphology, non-motility, weak autoagglutination and an inability to assimilate succinate. MALDI-TOF MS analysis revealed distinct biomarker ions compared to\n                    <jats:italic>C. coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    RM2228, supporting the hypothesis that CCS1377 represents a novel species. Whole-genome sequencing and comparative genomics confirmed its distinct phylogenetic position. The chromosome of\n                    <jats:italic>Campylobacter<\/jats:italic>\n                    sp. CCS1377 was estimated to be 1,853,379\u2009bp in size with a G+C content of 30.78\u2009mol%, and the genome was predicted to contain 1,878 genes. Average nucleotide identity analysis against genomes available in the NCBI database yielded a maximum value of 81.2% when compared to\n                    <jats:italic>C. coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    type strain NCTC11366\n                    <jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup>\n                    , significantly below the established species threshold of 94.2%. The digital DNA\u2013DNA hybridization (dDDH) value was also below the species threshold of 70%, with dDDH d\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    =22.0% [19.7\u201324.4%] in comparison to the\n                    <jats:italic>C. coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    type strain NCTC11366\n                    <jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup>\n                    .
