  • Title: Gastroinvasive Helicobacter infection in an Ocelot (Leopardus pardalis).
    Author: Kanou Y, Fukui D, Yamamoto S, Shibahara T, Ishikawa Y, Kadota K.
    Journal: J Comp Pathol; 2005 Nov; 133(4):281-5. PubMed ID: 16154138.
    Abstract:
    Highly invasive Helicobacter-like organisms were found in a 19-year-old female ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) with multiple ulcers in the fundic region of the stomach. The bacteria, resembling Helicobacter heilmannii, were located largely within canaliculi or in the cytosol of parietal cells. Except in the ulcerative lesions, parietal cells were hyperplastic, while chief cells and neck mucous cells were reduced in number. The term "gastroinvasive Helicobacter-like organism" was applied. It seems probable that this organism differs from other Helicobacter organisms in pathogenicity, and possible that its behaviour in vitro would help it to evade antibacterial treatment.
