Helicobacter heilmannii s.s. (H. heilmannii s.s.) is a species within the Helicobacter genus of Gram negative bacteria. [1] Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is by far the best known Helicobacter species primarily because humans infected with it may develop gastrointestinal tract diseases such as stomach inflammation, stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers, stomach cancers of the non-lymphoma type, and ...
The current taxonomy of Helicobacter bacteria is somewhat complex and incomplete, with new species currently being considered as possibly belonging to this genus. [2] [6] [7] Within the Helicobacter genus, H. heilmannii s. l. is a group of Helicobacter species that are distinguished from H. pylori by being two- to three-fold larger in size (they are 4-10 micrometers in length and 0.5-0.8 ...
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 ...
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.

A fatal virus has been discovered in shrews in Alabama, sparking concerns about potential contagion to humans. The Camp Hill virus was discovered by researchers at The University of Queensland.
