'Helicobacter' spp. from captive bottlenose dolphins ('Tursiops' spp.) and polar bears ('Ursus maritimus')
The gastric fluid of six bottlenose dolphins and the faeces of four polar bears from the same oceanarium were examined for the presence of 'Helicobacter'. As detected by PCR, all dolphins and 8/12 samples collected from polar bears were positive for 'Helicobacter'. Novel sequence...
