Simple measures may prevent transmission of stomach ulcer bacteria
The stomach ulcer bacterium Helicobacter pylori is not transmitted through drinking water as previously thought, but rather through vomit and possibly faeces. view more (2009-06-25)
Broccoli sprouts may prevent stomach cancer by defeating Helicobacter pylori
Three-day-old broccoli sprouts, a widely available human food, suppressed Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections, according to a report in Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. H. pylori infections are one of the most common bacterial infections worldwide and are a major cause of stomach cancer. view more (2009-04-06)
Protein interaction network can respond Helicobacter pylori infection?
Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) is a gram negative bacterium which infects about 50% of the world population. H pylori colonization causes a strong systemic immune response. view more (2009-10-16)
What are the characteristics of clarithromycin-resistant Helicobacter pylori?
Clarithromycin is currently one of the antibiotics used for eradication of Helicobacter pylori. However, reports of H. pylori resistance to this antibiotic are increasing worldwide. view more (2009-07-16)
ERADICATION OF GASTRIC BACTERIAL INFECTION COULD ALLEVIATE HEREDITARY OEDEMATOUS DISORDER (p 1695)
The eradication of the gastric bacterial infection Helicobacter pylori could play an important role in improving symptoms for people who have a genetic disorder known as hereditary angioneurotic oedema (HAO), conclude authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. view more (2001-11-14)
Helicobacter pylori inhibits intercellular communication of cultured gastric cells
The formation of a cancer is proven to be a multi-stage, multi-mechanism process by animal and human studies. As a definite carcinogen, the role of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) in the formation of gastric cancer has been unclear. view more (2007-10-29)
Does Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy prevent gastric cancer?
Although it has been demonstrated that Helicobacter pylori causes gastric cancer, it is still controversial that whether H. pylori eradication therapy is effective in primary prevention of gastric cancer. view more (2009-09-25)
Stomach ulcer bug causes bad breath
Bacteria that cause stomach ulcers and cancer could also be giving us bad breath, according to research published in the December issue of the Journal of Medical Microbiology. view more (2008-11-24)
Gastric juice for diagnosis of H. pylori infection in patients on proton pump inhibitors
This study determined the efficiency of a gastric juice PCR test for the detection of H. pylori infection in patients receiving PPI therapy and compared it with histology and gastric biopsy PCR. view more (2008-04-30)
Tummy troubles -- gastrin key in bacterial-induced stomach cancer
Current research suggests that levels of gastrin play a key role in the development of Helicobacter-induced stomach cancer. view more (2009-06-24)
GASTRIC REFLUX COULD BE TEMPERED BY H PYLORI ERADICATION
Eradication of a bacterium present in the stomach could reduce the frequency of a common gastric disorder characterised by heartburn and chest pain, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. There is little information on the effects of Helicobacter pylori eradication in patients with a primary diagnosis of gastro-oesophageal... view more... (2001-05-31)
Taking sharper aim at stomach ulcer bacteria
Scientists are reporting discovery of a much sought after crack in the armor of a common microbe that infects the stomachs of one-sixth of the world's population, causing stomach ulcers and other diseases. view more (2009-10-01)
Study Examines Role of Helicobacter Pylori in Esophageal Cancer Development
Infection with bacteria that can cause peptic ulcers and distal stomach cancer may be associated with a reduced risk of a type of esophageal cancer called adenocarcinoma, according to a study in the March 3 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. However, that same study found that people infected with the bacteria, called... view more... (2004-03-03)
Helicobacter pylori Acquisition Most Common In Young Children (P931)
A US study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how most newly acquired infections of the intestinal bacterium Helicobacter pylori probably occur in children younger than 10 years of age. The authors of the study suggest that treatment and prevention strategies should therefore be targeted at young children. H pylori infection is... view more... (2002-03-13)
A low prevalence of H pylori in HIV-positive patients
Helicobacter pylori has been extensively studied and proven to be the main cause of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer in the HIV-negative population. view more (2007-10-17)
Out of Africa-Bacteria, as well
When man made his way out of Africa some 60,000 years ago to populate the world, he was not alone: He was accompanied by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, which causes gastritis in many people today. view more (2007-02-15)
Stomach receptor for H. pylori discovered
Scientists have determined that decay-accelerating factor (DAF), a protein found in epithelial cells in the stomach, acts as a receptor for the bacteria Helicobacter pylori. view more (2006-05-05)
Helicobacter pylori can multiply in autophagic vesicles
Helicobacter pylori, a Gram-negative, flagellated, microaerophilic bacterium, can selectively colonize in the human stomach. Its infection is widespread throughout the world, and is present in about 50% of the global human population with 80% in developing countries and 20-50% in industrialized countries. view more (2009-01-28)
Which is more accurate, serology test or C14-urea breath test?
Serology and C14-UBT are the most commonly used non-invasive tests of H. pylori infection. The diagnostic characteristics of the tests depend also on the prevalence of H. pylori infection in the population tested. view more (2008-09-10)
Bacteria increase risk of lower stomach cancer, decreases risk of upper
The bacteria Helicobacter pylori substantially increase the risk of cancer in the lower stomach, but it may decrease the risk of cancer near the junction between the esophagus and the stomach. view more (2006-10-18)
