Helicobacter pylori comb. nov. Exhibits Facultative Acidophilism and Obligate Microaerophilism.
Modified brucella broth medium was used to study the growth of Helicobacter pylori at varied pHs and partial pressures of oxygen and to determine the effect of urea on culture pH. Our findings suggested that the pHs of the media remained stable with or without urea and that H. pylori showed facultative acidophilism and obligate microaerophilism.
