| helicobacter heilmannii sp. nov., isolated from feline gastric mucosa. | three gram-negative, microaerophilic bacteria with a corkscrew-like morphology isolated from the gastric mucosa of cats and designated asb1(t), asb2 and asb3, were subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. the isolates grew on biphasic culture plates in microaerobic conditions at 37°c and exhibited urease, oxidase and catalase activity. they were also able to grow in colonies on dry agar plates. based on 16s rrna gene sequence analysis, asb1(t), asb2 and asb3 were identified as members of the g ... | 2011 | 21421932 |
| helicobacter baculiformis sp. nov., isolated from feline stomach mucosa. | a gram-negative, microaerophilic slender rod, measuring approximately 10 mum long and approximately 1 microm wide, isolated from the gastric mucosa of a cat and designated strain m50(t), was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. despite its apparent lack of helical coils, the organism showed a corkscrew-like motion by means of multiple sheathed flagella located at both ends of the cell and by a periplasmic fibril coiled around the body. strain m50(t) grew preferably on biphasic culture plat ... | 2008 | 18218931 |
| [latest advances in non-pylori helicobacter species]. | the genus helicobacter presently comprises 32 validly named species. helicobacter equorum, helicobacter baculiformis and helicobacter suis were recognized as new species in 2007 and 2008. non-pylori helicobacter species are occasionally isolated from human clinical specimens, though their natural hosts are mammals other than human and birds. it remains unclear whether they are associated with human diseases. 'helicobacter heilmannii' causes human chronic gastritis. several reports suggest that h ... | 2009 | 19999111 |
