Isolation and characterization of a Helicobacter sp. from the gastric mucosa of dolphins, Lagenorhynchus acutus and Delphinus delphis
Article Abstract:
Researchers using the polymerase chain reaction have identified a species of Helicobacter in the stomachs of dolphins. The new species is closely related to Helicobacter pylori, which causes peptic ulcer disease in humans.

Helicobacter anseris sp. nov. and Helicobacter brantae sp. nov., isolated from feces of resident Canada geese in the Greater Boston area
Article Abstract:
A description is provided of the isolation and characterization by phenotypic, biochemical, 16S rRNA and 23S rRNA analyses of two novel helicobacters, Helicobacter Anseris and Helicobacter brantae from the feces of Canada geese in the Greater Boston area. Identification of Helicobacter spp. based on 16S rRNA genus-specific helicobacter primers was noted in 39 of 97 DNA fecal extracts out of which 27 had helicobacters isolated from their feces.

Phylogeny of the defined murine microbiota: altered Schaedler flora
Article Abstract:
Researchers used 16S rRNA sequence analysis to identify eight strains of altered Schaedler flora (ASF) in rodents. These bacteria are used to colonize germ-free mice for research on intestinal diseases.
