چکیده
Helicobacter pylori is a gram negative microaerophilic spiral bacteria that was first identified by Warren and Marshall in 1983. It is found predominantly beneath the gastric mucus layer that lines the surface epithelium of the stomach and can colonize the gastric mucosa for years. Recent research suggests that Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection is a recognised cause of gastritis and peptic ulcer disease, and more recently is implicated in gastric cancer.
