🧍 According to Rossi et al. 2010, the Helicobacter bilis strains can be divided into two distinct and divergent genomic groups. In the absence of a specific phenotype or pathotype to distinguish these groups they may be referred to as two genomospecies: Helicobacter bilis sensu stricto and Helicobacter sp. ‘FL56’. FL56 is a canine Helicobacter strain [see HÄNNINEN (M.L.), KARENLAMPI (R.I.), KOORT (J.M.), MIKKONEN (T.) and BJORKROTH (K.J.): Extension of the species Helicobacter bilis to include the reference strains of Helicobacter sp. flexispira taxa 2, 3 and 8 and Finnish canine and feline flexispira strains.
