Ferrets get H. mustelae (Can't recall spelling off-hand.) and humans get H. pylori. It's not like some few things that humans and ferrets share like influenza and some sinus infections -- either of which can be mistaken for colds (but not real colds themselves which are rhinovirus infections that ferrets don't get -- much to the disappointment of the pharmaceutical research community).
