Abstract

Recent reports described some cases of gastritis in man caused by an uncultured gram-negative spiral bacterium morphologically identical to organisms observed in the stomachs of mammalians (e.g. cats, dogs, pigs). The aim of the present study is to confirm the presence of these bacteria in Italian swine. Tightly spiralled organisms (Gastrospirillum suis) were found in the stomach of eight (9.4%) out of 85 pigs examined. The bacteria were always associated with macroscopic lesions indicative of gastritis. Attempts to culture H. pylori or Helicobacter-like organisms were unsuccessful. The possibility that Gastrospirillum may be a zoonotic pathogen, with transmission occurring from pigs to humans, is discussed.

摘要

最近的报告描述了一些人类胃炎病例，这些病例是由一种未培养的革兰氏阴性螺旋菌引起的，该细菌在形态上与在哺乳动物（如猫、狗、猪）胃中观察到的生物体相同。本研究的目的是确认这些细菌在意大利猪中的存在。在85头接受检查的猪中，有8头（9.4%）的胃中发现了紧密螺旋状的生物体（猪胃螺旋菌）。这些细菌总是与表明胃炎的宏观病变相关。培养幽门螺杆菌或类幽门螺杆菌的尝试均未成功。本文讨论了猪胃螺旋菌可能是一种人畜共患病原体，可从猪传播给人类的可能性。
