A previously undescribed Helicobacter sp. was recovered from a cat with severe diarrhea. Based upon the absence of any other identifiable cause of diarrhea, this helicobacter may be involved in the development of the disease signs. The organism could not be cultured but was described on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and morphology and appeared to be a new species, with Helicobacter canis being the most genetically similar species. The presence of a diarrhea-inducing helicobacter in a companion animal may pose a risk of zoonosis.
从一只患有严重腹泻的猫身上分离出一种此前未被描述过的螺杆菌。鉴于没有任何其他可识别的腹泻病因,这种螺杆菌可能与疾病症状的发展有关。该微生物无法培养,但根据16S rRNA基因序列分析和形态学进行了描述,似乎是一个新物种,犬螺杆菌是基因上最相似的物种。伴侣动物中存在导致腹泻的螺杆菌可能会带来人畜共患病的风险。
