Morphologic, Genetic, and Biochemical Characterization of <i>Helicobacter Magdeburgensis</i>, a Novel Species Isolated from the Intestine of Laboratory Mice

Abstract

We isolated and characterized a novel EHS species, H. magdeburgensis, morphologically, biochemically, and genetically. These results are important for future studies on the prevalence and pathophysiologic relevance of such infections. Our PCR assay can be used to detect and discriminate H. magdeburgensis from other Helicobacter species.
