Species code:	HELPY
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Epsilonproteobacteria; Campylobacterales; Helicobacteraceae; Helicobacter (TaxID: 210) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Micro-aerophilic, Gram-negative, slow-growing, spiral-shaped and flagellated organism. H.pylori is probably the most common cause of chronic bacterial infection of humans, present in almost half of the world population. The presence of the bacterium in the gastric mucosa is associated with chronic active gastritis and is implicated in more severe gastric diseases, including chronic atrophic gastritis, peptic ulceration and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia Number of membranes: 2 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of HELPY entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 1553 (565 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 988 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)

Genome structure	Chromosome EMBL accession number AE000511 (circular; 1,667,867 bp) (download entry) (download Genome Reviews).
