Abstract
- Non-Helicobacter pylori-Helicobacters including H. suis, H. heilmanniisensu stricto and H. felis comprise a group of bacteria that may inhabit the stomach of humans and animals. Human gastric infection has been associated with gastritis, ulcer, MALT lymphoma and cancer. Although the fastidious nature of these organisms has hampered their research, recent advancements in in vitro cultivation and recent reports on in vivo models and prevalence studies in humans suggest this group of bacteria to be of more clinical significance than earlier believed. The present review discusses their history, microbiology and relevance to human health.
