However, in this case a 74-year-old lady underwent gastroscopy for an upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage and was noted to have a gastric ulcer. Gastric biopsy revealed spiral gram-negative bacteria and culture yielded a moderate growth of C. jejuni. Identification was confirmed by growth characteristics, biochemical tests and PCR amplification of the species-specific flagellin geneā€”fla A. To prevent misidentification, it is important that laboratories routinely culturing gastric biopsies for Helicobacter pylori should perform a rapid urease test and not rely solely on microscopic morphology., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/00222615-43-1-75
