Which bacteria is known for its curved or spiral shaped gram negative rods?

  1. Staphylococcus aureus

  2. H. pylori

  3. Bacillus anthracis

  4. Clostridium difficile

The correct answer is: H. pylori

H. pylori is the correct answer because it is the bacteria known for its curved or spiral-shaped gram-negative rods. H. pylori is associated with causing gastrointestinal conditions such as peptic ulcers and gastritis. Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus anthracis, and Clostridium difficile are not typically characterized by curved or spiral-shaped rods.
