Descriptor Helicobacter pylori
Entry term(s) Campylobacter pylori
Campylobacter pylori subsp. pylori
Campylobacter pyloridis
Helicobacter nemestrinae
Scope note: Bacterias de forma espiral, activas como patógenos gástricos en el hombre. Es un organismo gramnegativo, ureasa positivo, curvo o ligeramente espiral, aislado por vez primera en 1982 de pacientes con gastritis o úlcera péptica en Australia occidental. Helicobacter pylori se clasificó originalmente en el género CAMPYLOBACTER, pero la secuencia del ARN, el perfil celular de los ácidos grasos, los patrones de crecimiento, y otras características taxonómicas indican que el microrganismo debe incluirse en el género HELICOBACTER. Oficialmente ha sido transferida al género Helicobacter gen. nov. (Traducción libre del original: Int J Syst Bacteriol 1989 Oct;39(4):297-405).

Scope note: A spiral bacterium active as a human gastric pathogen. It is a gram-negative, urease-positive, curved or slightly spiral organism initially isolated in 1982 from patients with lesions of gastritis or peptic ulcers in Western Australia. Helicobacter pylori was originally classified in the genus CAMPYLOBACTER, but RNA sequencing, cellular fatty acid profiles, growth patterns, and other taxonomic characteristics indicate that the micro-organism should be included in the genus HELICOBACTER. It has been officially transferred to Helicobacter gen. nov. (see Int J Syst Bacteriol 1989 Oct;39(4):297-405).
