Helicobacter Stool Test Samsiezbadaj Helicobacter Pylori

Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative bacterium that resides in the stomach lining and is responsible for a significant number of stomach ulcer cases, inflammatory processes in this organ, as well as certain types of gastrointestinal cancer. Infection is usually transmitted within the family, although there is also a risk of infection through contact with water or food contaminated with this bacterium. In many individuals, infection with this microorganism occurs without any clinical symptoms—these are known as asymptomatic carriers.
