	Information on Helicobacer pylori also referred to as H. pylori, produced by medical doctors
		Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacterium that causes chronic inflammation of the inner lining of the stomach (gastritis) in humans.
		pylori also is associated with stomach cancer and a rare type of lymphocytic tumor of the stomach called MALT lymphoma.
		The breath test relies on the ability of H. pylori to break down the naturally occurring chemical, urea, into carbon dioxide which is absorbed from the stomach and eliminated from the body in the breath.

	Food Research Institute Briefings: Helicobacter pylori
		Helicobacters may leave the stomach through the esophagus and mouth by gastro-esophageal reflux and by vomiting or through the intestines and be deposited in fecal material.
		Helicobacter pylori is certainly an etiological factor in Type B gastritis and duodenal and gastric ulcer and may also be an important factor in the development of gastric cancer.

	Helicobacter Pylori- Health Encyclopedia and Reference
		Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a spiral bacteria that specifically and selectively resides beneath the mucus layer next to the stomach (gastric cells).
		Helicobacter pylori infection has been associated with the occurrence of gastritis and peptic ulcers.
		First, H. pylori is present in the antrums of 9 to 95 percent of persons with a duodenal ulcer who do not use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or do not have Zollinger-Ellison syndrome as a possible cause of ulcer.

		The pattern of H pylori acquisition with age is identical to that of gastritis.
		Eradication of H pylori is presently justified in two circumstances: the newly diagnosed patient with peptic ulcer disease, and patients with previously diagnosed peptic ulcer disease who are receiving maintenance therapy with acid-suppressing medicines.

	Press Release: The 2005 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
		Helicobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped Gram-negative bacterium that colonizes the stomach in about 50% of all humans.
		As first reported by Robin Warren, the presence of Helicobacter pylori is always associated with an inflammation of the underlying gastric mucosa as evidenced by an infiltration of inflammatory cells.
		Helicobacter pylori infection can be diagnosed by antibody tests, by identifying the organism in biopsies taken during endoscopy, or by the non-invasive breath test that identifies bacterial production of an enzyme in the stomach.

		pylori are acquired during the childhood that the infection will eventually lead to pangastritis, which will further lead to gastric ulceration or gastric cancer.
		pylori are responsible for reduction in gastric juice vitamin C levels which is considered to increase the risk of gastric cancer.

	Helicobacter pylori
		Once Helicobacter pylori colonizes its host, it lives in the interface between the surface of gastric epithelial cells and the overlying mucus gel layer, often clustering at the junctions of epithelial cells.
		pylori infection is the main cause of chronic superficial gastritis and it is associated with both gastric and duodenal ulcers.
		pylori leads to an inflammatory response that is mediated by several of the bacterium's virulence determinants, which ultimately cause injury to the stomach tissues.

	Helicobacter Pylori
		pylori is a spiral-shaped bacterium found in the stomach, which (along with acid secretion) damages stomach and duodenal tissue, causing inflammation and peptic ulcers.
		It is believed that H. pylori's shape and characteristics cause the damage that leads to ulcers.
		After closely studying H. pylori's effect on the stomach, they proposed that the bacteria were the underlying cause of gastritis and peptic ulcers.

		pylori is a major etiologic factor in peptic ulcer disease and that diagnosis and eradication of the organism are necessary for optimal therapy of the disorder.
		Helicobacter pylori infection is strongly associated with the predominant forms of peptic ulcer disease and appears to play an important contributory role in their pathogenesis; thus, it is reasonable to suggest that eradication of H.
		pylori eradication in the management of peptic ulcer disease are needed, particularly in populations not well studied to date, including children, patients with gastric ulcers, and patients with duodenal or gastric ulcers with complications.

		Helicobacter pylori (he-lick-oh-back-ter pie-lorrie) is an unusual name that refers to a tiny acid-resistant germ (bacteria) that has been found to be a major cause of peptic ulcer disease.
		Also known as H. pylori, this organism was first reported in the stomach of patients with ulcers in 1982 by Dr. Barry Marshall of Perth, Western Australia, but its significance was not recognized until the past several years.
		Helicobacter is quite common in our society and often affects more than one member of a household.

	Helicobacter pylori background
		Helicobacter pylori is a micro-aerophilic, Gram-negative, slow-growing, spiral-shaped and flagellated organism.
		pylori is probably the most common chronic bacterial infection of humans, present in almost half of the world population.
		The presence of the bacterium in the gastric mucosa is associated with chronic active gastritis and is implicated in more severe gastric diseases, including chronic atrophic gastritis (a precursor of gastric carcinomas), peptic ulceration and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas.
