Abstract
Colonisation of the human gastric antrum with non Campylobacter pylori spiral organisms is described. A moderately severe histological gastritis was present despite the fact that these organisms, in contrast to C. pylori, were not closely associated with the epithelial cell surface. Although in vitro culture of the organisms was unsuccessful, in vivo culture was achieved in the mouse stomach. Further study of these spiral organisms should provide important clues to the role of bacteria in upper gastrointestinal disease.Keywords
