Characterization of Multiple <i>Helicobacter bizzozeronii</i> Isolates From a Finnish Patient With Severe Dyspeptic Symptoms and Chronic Active Gastritis

Abstract

Helicobacter bizzozeronii remains the only "H. heilmannii" species isolated from human gastric mucosa although it has been an infrequent observation among "H. heilmannii"-infected patients in PCR-based screening studies. The relevance of H. bizzozeronii and other potentially zoonotic gastric Helicobacter spp. in human disease remains to be determined.
