Helicobacter felis ATCC 49179

Names Helicobacter felis ATCC 49179
Accession numbers NC_014810
Background Helicobacter felis is a microaerophilic, urease-positive, spiral-shaped bacterium found in the stomach of cats and dogs. They grow as rigid, spiral-shaped, gram-negative cells that are 0.4 um wide, 5 to 7.5 um long and have five to seven spirals per cell. This strain (the type strain) was isolated from the gastric mucosa of a cat. H. felis infection in cats induces lymphoid follicular hyperplasia, mild gastritis, and seroconversion, but is associated with normal gastric secretory function. It has also been isolated from humans with acute gastritis (adapted from PMID 1704791 and 10639446). (EBI Integr8)
