Introduction Who does not have abdominal pain during childhood? predominantly, most people have this pain correspond to an infection. Many scientist and doctors count stress, increase the acidity, lifestyle, and spicy food as main causes of gastric infection while others relate it to bacteria. The first belief was the most supposed until two Australian physicians, Barry Marshall and Robin Warren before 1982 when bacterium was discovered, proved the opposite. They built a theory based on a specific type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) as one of results of stomach infection and they proved it. Later, it has classified as one of the most common human pathogens infect stomach. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) known as Campylobacter pylori is a small, curved, microaerophilic, gram-negative bacterium with spiral-shape. This type of bacteria is located in gastric mucous layer, or …show more content…

the patient should stop taking any antibiotics such as Pepto-Bismol, and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for two weeks before the test. Then, during the test, special solution contains urea that breaks down protein should be swallowed. The urea used is harmless and radioactive at the same time.

Humans are the target reservoir for this bacterium to infect. It is a spiral shaped, gram-negative bacterium that causes gastric and duodenal ulcers in the stomach. Helicobacter Pylori was first discovered in 1982 when two biologists took a brand new bacterium, isolated it, and showed that the bacterium caused ulcers in the stomach.

In many cases such a professional will need information about other medical states of the patient, and in the most complicated cases several specialists may have to discuss the state of the patient. This is why relying purely on the results of a quick online test is not only unacceptable but should be considered unthinkable for any reasonable patient.
