    Helicobacter pylori, formerly known as Campylobacter pylori, is a gram-negative bacterium that infects the stomach and is responsible for initiating changes that can lead to stomach cancer. Under the microscope, H. pylori appears as curved rods around 3 μm long and 0.5-1.0 μm wide, with sheathed flagella. It produces the enzymes catalase and urease, which are important for its pathogenicity. Campylobacter species are spiral bacteria with a single unsheathed polar flagellum that allow them to be motile. They are microaerophilic, requiring 5-10% oxygen concentration, and some grow best at temperatures around 42-

    Helicobacter pylori& Campylobacter


    This organism was earlier known as Campylobacter pylori. It is also being incriminated as
    responsible for initiating the process of metaplasia in gastric epithelium which ultimately may lead
    to carcinoma of stomach. Morphology In stomach this organism takes the form of short spirals or
    S shaped gram-negative bacteria which are about 3 μm long, 0.5-1.0 μm wide. H.pylori are visible
    under the microscope as curved gram-negative rods . It possesses lophotrichate flagellae which are
    sheathed.. Biochemical Reactions H.pylori produces catalase, urease and this enzyme as an
    important determinant of pathogenicity.

    Campylobacter:

    Are spiral bacteria with single unsheathed polar flagellum and most species are motile.. These
    organisms are non-sporing

    Cultural Characters

    Campylobacters microaerophilic. These fail to grow in air but require oxygen concentration of 5-
    10% for their growth. Three grow at 42- 43°C and are called as thermophile organisms.
