Coccoid forms of Helicobacter pylori.
To the Editor-Eaton et al. [1] recently described experiments with coccoid Helicobacter pylori in gnotobiotic piglets. This interesting study examined the colonization and the reversion from coccoid to bacillary H pylori within 2 weeks of inoculation. Piglets colonized with bacillary H pylori had more severe gastritis 2 weeks after inoculation than did those sacrificed 1 week after inoculation....
متن کاملComparison of the nucleic acids of helical and coccoid forms of Helicobacter pylori.
The nucleic acids of the helical and coccoid forms of Helicobacter pylori were studied to determine if the coccoid forms are "viable (capable of growing) but nonculturable." Using a reference strain (NCTC 11638) and five clinical strains, the nucleic acid contents, DNA integrity, and results of PCR and reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) were compared for helical H. pylori and coccoid forms indu...
متن کاملDevelopment of two PCR-based techniques for detecting helical and coccoid forms of Helicobacter pylori.
The primary mode of transmission of Helicobacter pylori, a human pathogen carried by more than half the population worldwide, is still unresolved. Some epidemiological data suggest water as a possible transmission route. H. pylori in the environment transforms into a nonculturable, coccoid form, which frequently results in the failure to detect this bacterium in environmental samples by convent...
متن کاملCytopathic effect of coccoid forms of Helicobacter pylori in Albino rats and Swiss mice
The effect of coccoid forms of a vaculating cytotoxin A positive Helicobacter pylori strain on Mus musculus (Swiss mice) and Rattus norvegicus (Albino rats) was studied. Two groups of Swiss mice and Albino rats were used. The first group of mice and rats was orally inoculated with coccoid forms of Helicobacter pylori, whereas, the second group of mice and rats were untreated and used as a contr...
متن کاملDiversity in protein synthesis and viability of Helicobacter pylori coccoid forms in response to various stimuli.
The viability of the coccoid forms of Helicobacter pylori was evaluated by assessing protein synthesis. Metabolic labeling studies showed the synthesis of proteins and the specific protein profiles of H. pylori coccoids produced under various conditions. Harsh conditions such as aerobiosis and starvation (lack of horse serum) in the culture did not affect the synthesis of proteins in the coccoi...
