Abstract

Campylobacter pylori subsp. mustelae was cultured from both normal and inflamed gastric mucosa of ferrets. Examination of neonatal, juvenile, and adult ferrets established that the gastric mucosa in the majority of preweanling (age, less than 6 weeks) ferrets sampled were not colonized with C. pylori subsp. mustelae, whereas the gastric mucosa of 100% of adult ferrets were colonized with this gastric organism. C. pylori subsp. mustelae was isolated from the gastric mucosa on a sequential basis from nine ferrets during a several-month period, inferring either persistent colonization or frequent reinfection with C. pylori subsp. mustelae.
