  2. Helicobacter pylori eradication protocols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicobacter_pylori...

    The success of H. pylori cure depends on the type and duration of therapy, patient compliance and bacterial factors such as antibiotic resistance. Patients most often fail to respond to initial H. pylori eradication therapy because of noncompliance or antibiotic resistance. Patients should be queried about any side effects, missed doses, and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicobacter_heilmannii_s.s

    Helicobacter heilmannii s.s. (H. heilmannii s.s.) is a species within the Helicobacter genus of Gram negative bacteria. [1] Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is by far the best known Helicobacter species primarily because humans infected with it may develop gastrointestinal tract diseases such as stomach inflammation, stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers, stomach cancers of the non-lymphoma type, and ...

    Helicobacter suis (H. suis) is a species within the Helicobacter genus of Gram-negative bacteria. [1] Helicobacter pylori is by far the best known Helicobacter species, primarily because humans infected with it may develop gastrointestinal tract diseases such as stomach inflammation, stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers, stomach cancers of the nonlymphoma type, and various subtypes of extranodal ...

  5. Helicobacter pylori - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicobacter_pylori

    H. pylori is able to adhere to the surface of the phagocytes and impede their action. This is responded to by the phagocyte in the generation and release of oxygen metabolites into the surrounding space. H. pylori can survive this response by the activity of catalase at its attachment to the phagocytic cell surface. Catalase decomposes hydrogen ...

  6. Atrophic gastritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrophic_gastritis

    Environmental metaplastic atrophic gastritis (EMAG) is due to environmental factors, such as diet and H. pylori infection. EMAG is typically confined to the body of the stomach. Patients with EMAG are also at increased risk of gastric carcinoma. [7]

  7. Gastrointestinal bleeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_bleeding

    Testing for and treating those who are positive for H. pylori is recommended. [16] Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting (TIPS) may be used to prevent bleeding in people who re-bleed despite other measures. [16] Among patients admitted to the ICU with high risk of bleeding, a PPI or H2RA appears useful. [24] [25]

  8. Indigestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigestion

    The role of H. pylori in functional dyspepsia is controversial, and treatment for H. pylori may not lead to complete improvement of a patient's dyspepsia. [6] However, a recent systemic review and meta-analysis of 29 studies published in 2022 suggests that successful treatment of H. pylori modestly improves indigestion symptoms. [18]

  9. Helicobacter heilmannii sensu lato - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicobacter_heilmannii...

    The current taxonomy of Helicobacter bacteria is somewhat complex and incomplete, with new species currently being considered as possibly belonging to this genus. [2] [6] [7] Within the Helicobacter genus, H. heilmannii s. l. is a group of Helicobacter species that are distinguished from H. pylori by being two- to three-fold larger in size (they are 4-10 micrometers in length and 0.5-0.8 ...
