| Abstract | ||
| Helicobacter infection is a major public health issue worldwide, about 4.4 billion individuals worldwide were confirmed to be infected. Helicobacter is a human pathogen that is transmitted from human to human and has a zoonotic relationship. Helicobacter gastritis, peptic ulcer, and perforation may lead to cancer. This study aims to try to isolate the Helicobacters from gastric biopsies and autopsies in human patients and animals (dogs and cats). Methodology:105 gastric biopsies were collected from dyspeptic patients and 5 gastric autopsies were collected from dogs and cats. The samples were cultivated and characterized by microbiological and molecular tools (PCR). Results: The results showed few harvested isolates (n=22) after characterization the confirmed Helicobacter isolates were 10 only from humans and animals. Conclusion: The conclusion is the microbiological method is so costive, time-consuming, and less sensitive. The presence of accurate and rapid tests is so crucial for specific and sensitive detection of Helicobacters. | ||
