Helicobacter muridarum sp. nov., a Microaerophilic Helical Bacterium with a Novel Ultrastructure Isolated from the Intestinal Mucosa of Rodents
1 Jan 1992
Abstract excerpt
Helical organisms with novel ultrastructural characteristics were isolated from the intestinal mucosa of rats and mice. These bacteria were characterized by the presence of 9 to 11 periplasmic fibers which appeared as concentric helical ridges on the surface of each cell. The cells were motile with a rapid corkscrewlike motion and had bipolar tufts of 10 to 14 sheathed flagella. The bacteria were microaerophilic,...
