Spatial Distribution of<i>Helicobacter</i>spp. in the Gastrointestinal Tract of Dogs

Abstract

This study demonstrates that in addition to the stomach, the large intestine of dogs is also abundantly colonized by Helicobacter spp. Additional studies are necessary to investigate the association between enterohepatic Helicobacter spp. and presence of intestinal inflammatory or proliferative disorders in dogs.
