The pathologist here says that H Pylori has a new name. It used to be Campylobacter Pylori and then is was changed to Helicobacter Pylori. It now has a new name, does anyone know what it is?

I forget. Is it Stanley Jr. or Stanley Sr.?
I looked it up, shortly, and don't see so far that it has changed. On the other hand, in my life time of graduating as a bacteriology major, a lot of names have changed.
@mikeyeeman,
I guess the new name is Stanley. not sure
The bacterium initially named Campylobacter pyloridis, then renamed C. pylori (pylori being the genitive of pylorus) to correct a Latin grammar error, was was placed in its own genus, Helicobacter in 1989. I cannot find any further renaming.
