Helicobacter Pylori
H. pylori (helicobacter pylori) is a bacteria that can cause digestive illnesses, including gastritis and peptic ulcer disease.
http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/stomach/h_pylori.html

Extractions: The bacteria H. pylori Helicobacter pylori ) usually don't cause problems in childhood. However, if left untreated the bacteria can lead to digestive illnesses , including gastritis (the irritation and inflammation of the lining of the stomach), peptic ulcer disease (characterized by sores that form in the stomach or the upper part of the small intestine, called the duodenum ), and even stomach cancer later in life. But even though the bacteria can cause these illnesses, experts believe that most H. pylori infections are "silent" and produce no symptoms. The bacteria are found everywhere in the world, but especially in developing countries, where up to 10% of children and 80% of adults can have laboratory evidence of an H. pylori infection - usually without having any symptoms. In industrialized countries, the infection is rare in children, and only about 40% of adults are infected. The risk of infection is higher for those who live in overcrowded or unsanitary conditions.

Helicobacter Pylori And Ulcers: A Paradigm Revised
When scientists identified helicobacter pylori as an infectious agent The story of the discovery of helicobacter pylori sounds like a chapter taken from
http://www.faseb.org/opa/pylori/pylori.html

Extractions: - Albert Szent Györgyi, 1937 Nobel Laureate in Physiology and Medicine Helicobacter pylori and Ulcers: a Paradigm Revised by Nancy A. Lynch, Ph.D. When scientists identified Helicobacter pylori as an infectious agent responsible for peptic ulcer disease, it completely transformed our understanding of the microbiology and pathology of the human stomach. That was in 1982. Before then, "no acid, no ulcer" succinctly described the accepted medical paradigm: stomach ulcers occurred when excess acid damaged the gastric mucosa, and treatment should be aimed at reducing or neutralizing that acid. Those who believed in psychosomatic theories of illness postulated even further that overproduction of the ulcer-causing acid was stimulated as a response to life's stresses-including overambitious mothers. We now know that many ulcers result from a bacterial infection, and that they are readily curable by treatment with antibiotics. The story of the discovery of Helicobacter pylori sounds like a chapter taken from the exciting book, Microbe Hunters. Written in 1926 by Paul de Kruif, it chronicled the discovery of the microbes causing the infectious diseases that ravaged the world's population of the time. It is the tale of two investigators from Western Australia. One observed a microorganism under his microscope and refused to accept previous explanations for its presence; the other used himself as a guinea pig in order to satisfy Koch's postulates, which indisputably establish an organism as causative agent for a specific disease (i.e., a pathogen). In fact, it recalls the story of Robert Koch himself, who conducted his experiments far from the medical mainstream in rural Germany, finally convincing the reluctant Berlin professors in 1882 that the bacilli he had isolated and studied actually caused tuberculosis.

Extractions: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacterium that causes chronic inflammation of the inner lining of the stomach ( gastritis ) in humans. This bacterium also is the most common cause of ulcers worldwide. H. pylori infection is most likely acquired by ingesting contaminated food and water and through person to person contact. In the United States, 30% of the adult population is infected. (50% of infected persons are infected by the age of 60.) The infection is more common in crowded living conditions with poor sanitation. In countries with poor sanitation, 90% of the adult population can be infected. Infected individuals usually carry the infection indefinitely unless they are treated with medications to eradicate the bacterium. One out of every six patients with H. pylori infection will develop ulcers of the duodenum or stomach. H. pylori also is associated with

Extractions: History Barry Marshall and Robin Warren of Perth, Western Australia, discovered H. pylori in 1983. Originally, the organism was named Campylobacter pyloridis because it was structurally similar to other Campylobacter species, such as C. jejuni C. jejuni is a gut pathogen which has the ability to colonize the gastric mucosa. C. pyloridis was renamed Campylobacter pylori to fit in with the names of other enteric pathogens. In 1989, it was finally named Helicobacter pylori based on functional and enzymatic properties.

Extractions: Biology of Helicobacter pylori Helicobacter are Gram-negative, aerobic or microaerophilic, spiral-shaped bacilli that are motile by way of flagella at one end of the cell. Closely related to Helicobacter are species of the genera Aquaspirillum Azospirillum Spirillum , and Camplyobacter . The genetics of Helicobacter pylori are complex; there are many strains of H . pylori which are distinguished by the human disease with which they are associated. 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. In addition H. pylori can also be found on top of the gastric epithelium in the duodenum and esophagus. It was not until 1983 that H . pylori was recognized as having any medical importance. Now, it has been proven that H. pylori infection is the main cause of chronic superficial gastritis and it is associated with both gastric and duodenal ulcers. Human Disease Peptic ulcer disease is a common clinical ailment, once thought to be caused by oversecretion of acid and pepsin, an enzyme of the stomach that promotes digestion by breaking down proteins. Researchers have found, however, that although the injury caused by acid and pepsin is necessary for the formation of ulcers, acid secretion levels of the majority of patients with gastric or duodenal ulcers are normal. An ulcer is now known to be the result of an imbalance between aggressive and defensive mechanisms in the stomach and duodenum. Part of that imbalance can be attributed to infection by

Extractions: Tips from Other Journals Previous Next POEM Helicobacter pylori Infection and Gastric Cancer Risk Clinical Question: Does treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection reduce the risk of gastric cancer? Setting: Population-based Study Design: Randomized controlled trial (double-blinded) Synopsis: Although chronic H. pylori infection is associated with an increased risk of developing gastric cancer, it is uncertain whether eradication treatment reduces this risk. A total of 1,630 healthy, asymptomatic adult carriers of H. pylori were identified by screening in the Fuzian province of China, a high-risk area. All of the patients underwent endoscopy, and 988 patients did not have precancerous lesions on study entry. Patients were assigned randomly in a double-blind fashion (uncertain allocation assignment) to receive H. pylori eradication treatment with a two-week course of 20 mg of omeprazole, a 750-mg combination of amoxicillin and clavulanate, and 400 mg of metronidazole, all twice daily, or placebo. Persons assessing outcomes were blinded to treatment group assignment. Ninety percent of patients were available for the primary analysis (on treatment) after eight years of follow-up. The authors diagnosed 18 new cases of gastric cancer. The risk of cancer development was not significantly reduced in participants who received
