Light micrographs of gastric tissue from humans infected with (A) H pylori and (C) H heilmannii (× 1000). Insets show higher magnifications in which the characteristic S-shape morphology of H pylori (B) can be seen in comparison to the tight helical shape of H heilmannii (D) (× 10 000).

Electron micrographs showing the various morphologies of some of the lower bowel helicobacters. (A) H hepaticus, S-shaped; (B) H bilis, tapered-curved rod with periplasmic fibres; (C) H pullorum, S shaped, (D) H muridarum, S shaped with periplasmic fibres, (E) H cholecystus, curved rod and (F) H rappini, tapered rod with periplasmic fibres. All Helicobacter species possess single or multiple polar flagella. (× 30 000).
