Abstract

Campylobacter jejuni are Gram-negative, microaerophilic, spiral rods, motile by means of a single, bi-polar, unsheathed flagellum. They are considered as one of the leading causes of bacterial diarrhoea throughout the world 15. Helicobacter pylori are also spiral, microaerophilic, Gram-negative and motile bacteria by means of a unipolar bundle of 3–6 sheathed flagella. H. pylori is generally acknowledged to be a major cause of gastritis in man. It is also associated with the occurrence of peptic ulceration (for reviews see Blaser 1,2).
