Abstract
- Two kinds of gastric spiral bacilli were identified in the stomachs of captive cheetahs with naturally occurring gastritis. One type was morphologically similar to 'Gastrospirillum hominis'. This organism could not be cultured in vitro. Some of these bacteria had superficial helical filaments, and others did not. The other type was morphologically, biochemically, and bacteriologically similar to Helicobacter pylori. This organism is most likely a new species of Helicobacter. One or both of these bacteria may have been responsible for the gastritis seen in these cheetahs.
