Abstract:
Gastric spiral bacteria morphologically unlike Campylobacter pylori have recently been described in patients with gastritis. We report an additional case. These organisms are as yet unnamed, remain uncultured and are morphologically similar to organisms present in the gastric mucosa of various mammalian species. Their possible role in the pathogenesis of gastritis is discussed.
