Helicobacter heilmannii sensu lato refers to a group of bacterial species within the Helicobacter genus.The Helicobacter genus consists of at least 40 species [1] of spiral-shaped (also described as corkscrew-shaped) flagellated, Gram-negative bacteria [2] of which the by far most prominent and well-known species is Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). [3]
It is important to diagnose H. heilmannii as well as the other Helicobacter heilmannii sensu lato infections in patients with the cited upper gastrointestinal tract diseases, including in particular extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of the stomach, because some of them have been successfully treated and cured using antibiotic-based drug ...
Helicobacter heilmannii sensu lato (i.e. H. heilmanni s.l.) is a grouping of non-H. pylori Helicobacter species that take as part of their definition a similarity to H. pylori in being associated with the development of stomach inflammation, stomach ulcers, [11] duodenum ulcers, [12] stomach cancers that are not lymphomas, and extranodal ...
It is important to diagnose H. felis and other H. heilmannii sensu lato infections in patients with the cited upper gastrointestinal tract diseases, including in particular extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of the stomach, because some of them have been successfully treated and cured using antibiotic-based drug regimens (e.g.amoxicillin ...
Helicobacter cinaedi has been isolated from cats, dogs, hamsters, rats, foxes, and rhesus monkeys; the bacterium is part of the normal intestinal bacterial flora of hamsters. Many species of Helicobacter such as the five species of H. heilmannii sensu lato are transmitted to humans by close contact with infected animals. [7]

The diagnosis of Helicobacter heilmannii sensu lato therefore depends upon detecting the organism in tissues or fecal material histologically using special silver staining methods and then sequencing certain genes (i.e. urease A, urease B, heat shock protein 60, and/or gyrase subunit B) in the organisms DNA and/or the organisms 23sRNA.
