[Campylobacter-like bacteria (C. pylori) in the healthy stomach?]

Some authors recently published reports on the findings of unidentified S-shaped spiral bacteria, so called "Campylobacter pylori", in the gastric epithelium and the significant connection between these strains and gastric diseases. 24 fasting gastric juice samples of young healthy volunteers were now analysed bacteriologically using the campylobacter isolation techniques.

It was not possible to find the so called "C. pylori" in the healthy stomach.
