Morphological Detection Inaccurate for Helicobacter Diagnosis: Zoonotic Transmission Risk

In conclusion, it is not advisable to use morphological detection as the sole method for clinical diagnosis of Helicobacter infection due to its lower accuracy. Given the high incidence of Helicobacter in dogs and cats, there is a potential risk of zoonotic transmission. While this study did not establish a direct link between Helicobacter infection in pets and their owners, the possibility of transmission through animal feces, saliva, and gastric juices cannot be ignored and requires careful attention.
