Helicobacter pylori

Natural Treatment of the Symptoms of Helicobacter Pylori Helicobacter pylori is a bacteria that causes chronic gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining) among people. Helicobacter pylori is the main cause of stomach and duodenal ulcers. According to statistics, 90% of people with stomach ulcer test positive for Helicobacter pylori. Characteristics of Helicobacter pylori This gram-positive spiral bacteria discovered by Warren and Marshall in 1984. They found the bacteria in the stomach of a man suffering from peptic ulcer. This bacteria has very specific characteristics. The name of the bacteria was given according to its spiral shape (helico – spiral). These bacteria are attracted to the acid surrounding in the stomach. They settle…

Helicobacter pylori is correlated with the malignant transformation of the gastric epithelial cells. It has been correlated with a variety of condtitions that serve as a precursor for gastric carcinogenesis. This review focuses on the different factors that enable Helicobacter pylori to colonize and damage the stomach epithelium, which are directly linked to Helicobacter pylori-induce gastric carcinogenesis. These factors include cytotoxin associated gene A (cagA), Vacuolating toxin A (vacA),…

Helicobacter pylori is an infection that is closely associated with peptic ulcer disease. It took more than a decade before peptic ulcer disease was accepted as an indication for H. pylori eradication therapy. Introduction Helicobacter pylori, more commonly referred to as H. pylori, has infected millions of people around the world. For centuries people living with the disease were misdiagnosed with other gastric illnesses. One of the most common misdiagnoses of the gastro-intestinal issues were…

Barry Marshall were awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of Helicobacter Pylori (H.Pylori for short). Helicobacter pylori is a spiral shaped bacteria with 4 to 7 whip-like structures called flagella. It can be found burrowed deep in the mucus layer of the stomach. The discovery of this bacteria was extremely important because it was one of the main causes for ulcers, stomach cancer and other diseases of the upper digestive system. (Fleming, 2007) In the United States, the annual cost…

Helicobacter pylori, well-known as H. pylori, are a bacterium that frequently originates in the stomach. It is present in about one-half of the world's population. H. Pylori is capable of producing many digestive problems, such as ulcers as the patient in question was diagnosed with a peptic ulcer and, some less commonly, stomach cancer. It is not clear why some people with H. pylori get these conditions and others do not (Crowe, 2017). A peptic ulcer is an open sore in the upper part…

Kayla Southworth Professor Borgeson Bio 251 December 4, 2015 Helicobacter pylori Helicobacter pylori is a microbe that comes from the kingdom bacteria, under the domain of Eubacteria, where its phylum is the proteobacteria. While Helicobacteria pylori is in the wide phylum of Proteobacteria it is grouped under the order of Epsilonproteobacteria under its subset of Campylobacterales. When Helicobacter pylori go under the performance of a gram stain it comes out…

Introduction Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has infected humans for more than 58000 years (1).yet it largely escaped notice until it was cultured by Marshall and Warren(2).research on Helicobacter Pylori changed paradigms regarding disease causation. Physicians previously attributed ulcers to stress or anxiety and did not believe that bacteria could cause cancer (3). .After 1983, when it was discovered that the stomach could be colonized by bacteria (4). increasing evidence has shown that H.…

Helicobacter pylori – A Stomach Bug’s Story For several decades, stress and spicy foods were known as the reason of ulcers. In 1982, it was discovered by scientists that the major cause of an ulcer is the bug called Helicobacter pylori. H. pylori is the pathogenic bacterium enters into the body, to colonize the stomach in order to damage the lining. Consequently, the acidic fluid can easily pass through the lining to cause infections. Contaminated water or foods are the sources to cause people…

It has been demonstrated that MUC1 (membrane bound mucin) often located on the outer portions of cells, serves as a preventive agent against Helicobacter pylori. MUC1 reduces gastric inflammation in H. pylori Infected tissue by forming a complex with IkB kinase gamma (IKKγ) in this way hindering the contact between IKKγ and IKKβ causing the prevention of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) transportation to the nucleus, in this manner preventing the transcription of genes that can cause inflammation…

(Krithika et al. 2008). This region is distinguished by a preponderance of the Tibeto Burman migrants, and the inhabitants here is thought to comprise migrating peoples from East and Southeast Asia, who are presumed to have brought with them the risk for stomach cancer (Kataki et al., 2011). The prevalance of stomach cancer in India is lower, than that of any other country worldwide. However, the prevalence of stomach cancer was found to be in first position and fifth position globallyin Mizoram…
