HELICOBACTER BACULIFORMIS
| Class: | Epsilon Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Helicobacter |
| Species: | Helicobacter baculiformis |
| Description: | Helicobacter baculiformis a Gram-negative, microaerophilic slender rod, measuring approximately 10 µm long and approximately 1µm wide, isolated from the gastric mucosa of a cat and designated strain M50T, was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Despite its apparent lack of helical coils, the organism showed a corkscrew-like motion by means of multiple sheathed flagella located at both ends of the cell and by a periplasmic fibril coiled around the body. Strain M50T grew preferably on biphasic culture plates or on very moist agar. Coccoid forms predominated in cultures older than 4 days as well as in growth obtained on dry agar plates. The strain grew at 37 oC, but not at 25 or 42oC and exhibited urease, oxidase and catalase activities. |
