Abstract
Helicobacter pullorum, recently described as sp. nov., is commonly iso lated from asymptomatic poultry. Two cases of human enteritis associat ed with H. pullorum, one of them in an immunocompromised patient, are reported. Problems in the correct species identification by means of p henotypic and genotypic methods are discussed and for the first time a fatty acid pattern of Helicobacter pullorum is presented.
