isolation of a novel helicobacter species, helicobacter cholecystus sp. nov., from the gallbladders of syrian hamsters with cholangiofibrosis and centrilobular pancreatitis.	a filamentous, gram-negative, motile bacterium with a single polar sheathed flagellum was isolated from gallbladders of hamsters with cholangiofibrosis and centrilobular pancreatitis. bacteria grew under microaerophilic conditions at 37 and 42 degrees c, were oxidase, catalase, arginine aminopeptidase, and l-arginine arylamidase positive, reduced nitrate to nitrite, were resistant to cephalothin, and exhibited intermediate susceptibility to nalidixic acid. sequence analysis of the 16s rrna gene ...	1996	8940429
hepatobiliary inflammation, neoplasia, and argyrophilic bacteria in a ferret colony.	hepatobiliary disease was diagnosed in eight of 34 genetically unrelated cohabitating pet ferrets (mustela putorios furo) during a 7-year period. the eight ferrets ranged in age from 5 to 8 years and exhibited chronic cholangiohepatitis coupled with cellular proliferation ranging from hyperplasia to frank neoplasia. spiral-shaped argyrophilic bacteria were demonstrated in livers of three ferrets, including two with carcinoma. sequence analysis of a 400-base pair polymerase chain reaction product ...	2002	12009055
