Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In 1983, spiral-shaped organisms resembling campylobacteria were isolated from the human stomach; these organisms were named Campylobacter pylori. Based on many studies, the genus Helicobacter was established in 1989 and C. pylori was renamed Helicobacter pylori. At least 22 species are now included in this genus, the majority of which colonize mammalian stomachs or intestines. The genus Helicobacter consists mostly of curved, microaerophilic, gram-negative rods, with most species having strong urease activity.
