• This article describes the isolation and characterization of a Campylobacter‐like isolate originating from the faeces of a sick leopard tortoise. Molecular as well as matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight (MALDI‐TOF) characterization suggests that it could correspond to a new Campylobacter species. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF STUDY: The major impact of this work is the demonstration that proteomics and especially MALDI‐TOF typing can be used as an alternative method to 16S rDNA sequencing for phylogeny and can lead to the discovery of new Campylobacters.
