  • To offer recommendations for establishing and maintaining Helicobacter-free research animal colonies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current information on Helicobacter infections.
  • Analysis of natural history, host range, and pathology across species.
  • Compilation of diagnostic techniques and research interference examples.

Main Results:

  • Detailed information on Helicobacter species, host range, and zoonotic potential is presented.
  • Pathology and diagnostic methods for Helicobacter infections are outlined.
  • Examples of research interference due to Helicobacter are provided.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of Helicobacter infections is vital for human and animal health.
  • Standardized diagnostic and management strategies are needed for research animals.
  • Maintaining Helicobacter-free colonies is essential for reliable in vivo research outcomes.
