Plain-English summary
A group of thirty dogs with gastritis (inflammation of the stomach) had their stool tested for a type of bacteria called Helicobacter. Out of these dogs, seven were found to have Helicobacter bacteria in their stool, with the most common type being Helicobacter heilmannii. This study helps veterinarians understand the presence of these bacteria in dogs suffering from stomach issues. If your dog has gastritis, it might be worth discussing the possibility of testing for Helicobacter with your vet.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and identify the species of gastric Helicobacter in the stool of dogs with gastritis. The study was carried out on thirty dogs of different breeds, of both genders and of various ages, diagnosed with gastritis. Helicobacter spp. was detected in stool samples using the nested-PCR method. Helicobacter bacteria were identified in stool samples from seven (23.3%) dogs. Helicobacter heilmannii was found to be the most common species of gastric Helicobacter. Helicobacter salomonis was identified much less frequently, while Helicobacter felis, Helicobacter pylori and Helicobacter bizzozeronii were not detected in any of the samples.
