The human gastric pathogen Campylobacter pylori has recently been reclassified as Helicobacter pylori, and a related spiral bacterium found in the stomach of ferrets has been designated Helicobacter mustelae. The general microbiological features of Helicobacter pylori are delineated here, with details of phenotypic differences between Helicobacter pylori and Helicobacter mustelae; comparisons are made with Wolinella succinogenes and Campylobacter jejuni. The Helicobacter organisms possess an external glycocalyx which can be visualised by electron microscopy, and which may be involved in bacterial adherence. The finding of soluble and cell-associated haemagglutinins of Helicobacter pylori is reported. Detection of Helicobacter pylori in clinical specimens, susceptibility of the organism to antibacterial agents, and other aspects of practical and clinical significance are briefly reviewed.
人类胃部病原体幽门弯曲菌最近已被重新分类为幽门螺杆菌，在雪貂胃中发现的一种相关螺旋菌被命名为鼬螺杆菌。本文阐述了幽门螺杆菌的一般微生物学特征，以及幽门螺杆菌和鼬螺杆菌之间表型差异的细节；并与琥珀酸沃林菌和空肠弯曲菌进行了比较。幽门螺杆菌属微生物具有一层外部糖萼，可通过电子显微镜观察到，它可能与细菌黏附有关。本文报道了幽门螺杆菌可溶性和细胞相关血凝素的发现。简要综述了临床标本中幽门螺杆菌的检测、该菌对抗菌药物的敏感性以及其他具有实际和临床意义的方面。
