[Biological diagnostic and therapeutic study on the infection of Helicobacter heilmannii].

Abstract

The prevalence of Hh in southern China is higher than that reported abroad. There may exist animal to person and person to person transmission mechanisms. Hh should be a new Helicobacter with lower activity of urease and weaker pathogenicity when compared with H. pylori. The infection of Hh is easy to eradicate through drug therapy.
