Published: June 2004

Using a group-specific PCR assay, we investigated the presence of enterohepatic Helicobacter species in gut specimens from patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Enterohepatic Helicobacter species were detected in 12% (3 of 25) of the patients with Crohn's disease, in 17% (3 of 18) of the ulcerative colitis samples, and in 4% (1 of 23) of the controls.

Article Synopsis
  • Environmental arsenic contamination often exceeds safety levels in drinking water and is linked to higher rates of H. pylori infections, leading to concerns about the combined effects of both hazards.
  • A study using a mouse model found that exposure to both H. pylori and inorganic arsenic resulted in significant changes in intestinal flora composition and metabolic processes.
  • The research suggests that H. pylori may worsen the imbalance in gut bacteria and disrupt liver metabolism caused by arsenic, which could heighten sensitivity to heavy metal toxicity.

Background And Objectives: Helicobacters are gastric and enterohepatic and live in the gut. The role of enterohepatic Helicobacters as intestinal pathogens is uncertain, while stomach Helicobacters are well-known. The prevalence of species in cat feces helps us understand their impact on cat health and human disease transmission.

species are potential zoonotic pathogens classified as either enterohepatic or gastric. infection can be transmitted through wastewater from households and livestock and through water from irrigation and streams. In this study, the distribution and source of species in the Donggang and Yenshui rivers, two natural water bodies with different characteristics, were analyzed.

A bibliometric analysis and evaluation of research on non- species (NHPHs) is essential to determining future research directions. A comprehensive search was carried out using predetermined search terms within the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) to gather publications spanning from 1993 to 2023. VOSviewer and Citespace were employed for data analysis and visualization.
