The aim of this study was to identify the species and determine the prevalence of gastric Helicobacter in the saliva of dogs with gastritis. The study was carried out on 30 dogs of different breeds, genders and ages, which were diagnosed with gastritis. The nested-PCR method was used to detect Helicobacter spp. in saliva. Helicobacter bacteria were found in the saliva samples of 23 (76.6%) dogs. Helicobacter heilmannii was the most commonly detected species of gastric Helicobacter spp. in canine saliva, and was found in 22 (73.3%) cases. The results indicate that gastric Helicobacter spp. occurs relatively frequently in dogs with gastritis. Moreover, the saliva of dogs with gastritis may be a source of Helicobacter spp. infection for humans and other animals. However, further studies are needed to confirm this finding as the PCR method does not distinguish active from inactive infections.
本研究的目的是鉴定患有胃炎的犬类唾液中幽门螺杆菌的种类并确定其流行率。该研究对30只不同品种、性别和年龄且被诊断患有胃炎的犬进行。采用巢式聚合酶链反应（nested-PCR）方法检测唾液中的幽门螺杆菌。在23只（76.6%）犬的唾液样本中发现了幽门螺杆菌。海氏螺杆菌（Helicobacter heilmannii）是犬类唾液中最常检测到的胃幽门螺杆菌种类，在22例（73.3%）中被发现。结果表明，胃幽门螺杆菌在患有胃炎的犬中相对频繁出现。此外，患有胃炎的犬的唾液可能是人类和其他动物感染幽门螺杆菌的一个来源。然而，由于聚合酶链反应方法无法区分活跃感染和非活跃感染，需要进一步研究来证实这一发现。
