Abstract:
The incidence of Campylobacter pyloridis in the stomach of patients with chronic gastritis, peptic ulceration and in normal subjects, has been studied. Seventy-one biopsy specimens were taken from affected and normal gastric mucosa of 61 patients and 10 normal subjects, respectively. In 54 (88.5%) out of the 61 patients and in 1 (10%) out of the 10 normal subjects, C. pyloridis was observed. In addition, in 39 samples this microorganism was successfully cultured.
