Summary

Nineteen gastric biopsies were examined for campylobacter-like gram-negative bacteria. Such strains could be isolated in six out of the 19 biopsies, as confirmed histologically. The bacteria are sensitive to tetracycline, clindamycin, erythromycin, cefalothin, penicillin G and ampicillin and resistant to nalidixic acid and metronidazole. They grow in a 6% O2, 10% CO2 atmosphere at 37° C.

Zusammenfassung

Neunzehn Magenbiopsien wurden auf Campylobacterähnliche gramnegative Stäbchenbakterien untersucht. Sechs der Biopsien enthielten diese Erreger, was zusätzlich histologisch bestätigt werden konnte. Die Bakterien sind empfindlich auf Tetrazyklin, Clindamycin, Erythromycin, Cefalotin, Penicillin G und Ampicillin und resistent gegenüber Nalidixinsäure und Metronidazol. Sie wachsen in einer Atmosphäre von 6% O2, 10% CO2 bei 37° C.
