On the basis of papers review there are presented the possibilities of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in animals and the route of transmission. The discovery of bacteria has changed our approach to the etiopathogenesis and treatment of some digestive tract diseases. The prevalence of H. pylori in some populations and socioeconomic factors confirms the man-to-man mode of transmission with a human being as a main reservoir. There was confirmed the correlation between the stomach colonization of H. pylori in some animals, particularly those living in a human environment, and the route of transmission. Besides many studies performed on domestic animals and primate monkeys it is not clear, whether H. pylori infection can be accepted as a zoonosis. Many investigators confirmed the presence of bacteria in the animal stomach. There is a lack of data, whether the bacteria coming from other sources than food infected by the man could colonize the stomach, and whether it can cause the gastric mucosa changes by the viable forms presented in feces. If scientists are still interested in H. pylori the mentioned problems will probably be elucidated.
基于文献综述，本文介绍了幽门螺杆菌（H. pylori）在动物体内感染的可能性及传播途径。该细菌的发现改变了我们对某些消化道疾病病因和治疗方法的认识。幽门螺杆菌在某些人群中的流行情况及社会经济因素证实了人与人之间的传播模式，且人是主要传染源。已证实某些动物，尤其是生活在人类环境中的动物，其胃部幽门螺杆菌定植情况与传播途径之间存在关联。除了对家畜和灵长类动物进行的许多研究外，幽门螺杆菌感染是否可被视为一种人畜共患病尚不清楚。许多研究人员证实动物胃中存在该细菌。目前缺乏数据表明，除了受人类感染的食物来源之外，其他来源的细菌能否在胃中定植，以及粪便中存在的活菌形式是否会导致胃黏膜发生变化。如果科学家们仍对幽门螺杆菌感兴趣，上述问题可能会得到阐明。
