RoBić, M., B. ARtuković, A. Beck, A. GudAn, A. SvetinA, Ž. GRABARević: Histopathological changes in stomachs of dogs with naturally acquired Helicobacter infection. vet. arhiv 77, 103-111, 2007. ABStrAct The aim of this study was to determine the presence of gastric Helicobacter-like organisms (GHLO) and consequent histopathological changes in dogs, and to evaluate different histological staining methods which are used for detection of GHLO. Stomach samples of twenty apparently healthy laboratory beagle dogs were used. In all the samples examined histopathological changes consistent with chronic gastritis were present and a large number of GHLO was noted on the surface of gastric mucosa and in the glandular luminae. For the detection of GHLO in dogs several histological methods were used. GHLO in dogs were visible in the Hemalaun-Eosin, Toulidin blau, Giemsa and Warthin-Starry methods, but the method of choice is Giemsa, since it is quick, reliable and inexpensive. key words: gastric helicobacter-like organisms, dogs, gastric lesions

Tightly coiled bacteria are a rare cause of gastric pathology in humans and represent a mixture of species for which a zoonotic origin is suspected. Similar organisms are common inhabitants of the gastric mucosae of carnivores and pigs. It was the goal of the present study to determine the actual occurrence of each individual Helicobacter species in human, canine, and feline stomachs in order t...

BACKGROUND Non-Helicobacter pylori Helicobacters (NHPH) are also able to cause disease in humans. Dogs are a natural reservoir for many of these species. Close and intense human contact with animals has been identified as a risk factor and therefore, an important zoonotic significance has been attributed to NHPH. METHODS To determine the prevalence of Helicobacter species and the gastric hist...
