| Material | vomitus, gastric lavage, gastric biopsy, sheep: abort material only, turtle and tortoise: swab without medium only |
| Method | PCR |
| Species list | dog, cat, hamster, mouse, ferret, turtle, tortoise, sheep |
| Duration | 1 - 3 days |
| Remark | - Positive PCR results from faecal samples do not necessarily indicate involvement of the stomach (gastritis, stomach ulcer, etc.), as PCR also detects intestinal Helicobacter spp. For this diagnostic task, stomach biopsies or vomitus are recommended as sample material.
- In Muridae, helicobacter can cause typhlitis and rectal prolapse,
in sheep, however, it can cause abortions.
