Abstract
Here we report the genome sequence of Helicobacter heilmannii sensu stricto ASB1 isolated from the gastric mucosa of a kitten with severe gastritis. Helicobacter heilmannii sensu stricto has also been associated with gastric disease in humans. Availability of this genome sequence will contribute to the identification of genes involved in the pathogen’s virulence and carcinogenic properties.
Highlights
We report the genome sequence of Helicobacter heilmannii sensu stricto ASB1 isolated from the gastric mucosa of a kitten with severe gastritis
Long spiral-shaped gastric non-H. pylori Helicobacter species (NHPH), referred to as Helicobacter heilmannii sensu lato (2), which naturally colonize the stomachs of animals, have been demonstrated in the gastric mucosa of humans (3)
H. heilmannii sensu stricto has been successfully isolated from the gastric mucosa of cats (7)
Summary
We report the genome sequence of Helicobacter heilmannii sensu stricto ASB1 isolated from the gastric mucosa of a kitten with severe gastritis. Helicobacter pylori is by far the most prevalent Helicobacter species in humans with gastric complaints (1). Long spiral-shaped gastric non-H. pylori Helicobacter species (NHPH), referred to as Helicobacter heilmannii sensu lato (2), which naturally colonize the stomachs of animals, have been demonstrated in the gastric mucosa of humans (3).
