Indication and identification of. in the cat stomach.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: species are spiral-shaped gram-negative bacteria that colonize the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals.are most famous for their role in gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. Their unique adaptation to the harsh acidic environment of the stomach is a key aspect of pathogenicity. AIM: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence ofin cats in Kazan and identify the species of these bacteria using molecular genetic methods. METHODS: The research is based on endoscopic, microscopic, and molecular genetic methods of investigation. Cats with pronounced clinical signs of gastrointestinal disease were examined. RESULTS: Endoscopic examination revealed ulcers, erosions, and hyperplasia in all cases. Microscopic examination of biopsy samples from these animals identified characteristic spirally shapedspp. in 70% of cases. A noninvasive method for the laboratory diagnosis ofinfection was used to identifyspp. in cats. Fecal samples from cats with gastrointestinal clinical signs and from asymptomatic cats were investigated using polymerase chain reaction method. The deoxyribonucleic acid of Hwas present in 61.7% of cases, with the speciesbeing the most frequently isolated (51.35%). Additionally,was detected in 18.92% of cases andin 45.95%, highlighting the variety of bacterial combinations in the stomachs of cats. CONCLUSION: Based on the obtained data, this study concluded that there exists an important relationship betweenand gastrointestinal diseases in cats. Furthermore, this widespread occurrence indicated a high degree of adaptation of these bacteria to this animal species.
