H.Pylori is a bacterial infection
H.Pylori is a bacterial infection which affects the stomach mucosa or the gastric mucosa. More often in the duodenal area also. What causes the gastric infection is we consume some food materials or eat something from outside which is not so hygienic. Say even if I bite my nail, I am trying to harbor all infections that are there into mouth. This would have happened even for a small baby, who might even lick on the floor or touch the hand on the floor and lick on the mouth. This might happen on a regular basis. but fortunately our body is good enough to establish immunity against whatever little organism it may be, the bacteria or the fungus or the or any other pathogens. But rarely the H.Pylori becomes resistant against the immunity what our body develops, then they develop an active infection in the gastric mucosa. Unfortunate part about this H.Pylori infection is that patient is vulnerable against this H.Pylori, the patient has a high possibility of developing a peptic ulcer or a gastric ulcer or more often a duodenal ulcer. It is relatively very easy to do this, where we do a breath test and we do this and identify the patient infected with H.Pylori and treated the patient with antibiotics, usually with tinidazole or amoxicillin and it is treated in a very short period of 5 days course and the patient is free of H.Pylori infection and ulcer possibly heals without much difficulty.
