Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative, spiral-shaped bacteria that is found in half the world's population. H pylori infection is believed to occur most commonly through the oral-to-oral or fecal-to-oral route. A chronic inflammatory response occurs to some degree in all individuals who are infected with H pylori, although most infected individuals remain asymptomatic. Nevertheless, more serious outcomes do occur in up to 20% of patients, such as peptic ulcer disease, gastric lymphoma, and gastric cancer.
