The role of Helicobacter spp. infection in canine gastrointestinal disease is unclear and routes of transmission are of epidemiological and zoonotic importance. The aim of this study was to identify Helicobacter spp. in the saliva, stomach, duodenum and faeces of dogs using a multiplex PCR, and to evaluate any attendant histopathological changes. Helicobacter canis was the most common species detected in saliva and faeces and no correlation between the presence of Helicobacter spp. and histopathological changes in either the stomach or duodenum was observed. All dogs examined were co-infected with up to four species of the organism. This is the first time these bacteria have been studied at species level at multiple sites within the canine alimentary tract.
幽门螺旋菌感染在犬胃肠道疾病中的作用尚不清楚，其传播途径具有流行病学和人畜共患病的重要性。本研究旨在采用多重 PCR 方法检测犬唾液、胃、十二指肠和粪便中的幽门螺旋菌，并评估伴随的组织病理学变化。在唾液和粪便中检测到的最常见的种属是犬幽门螺旋菌，而在胃或十二指肠中观察到幽门螺旋菌的存在与组织病理学变化之间没有相关性。所有检查的狗都同时感染了多达四种该种生物体。这是首次在犬消化道的多个部位对这些细菌进行种属水平的研究。
