  2. Helicobacter pylori - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicobacter_pylori

    Helicobacter pylori, previously known as Campylobacter pylori, is a gram-negative, flagellated, helical bacterium. Mutants can have a rod or curved rod shape that exhibits less virulence . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Its helical body (from which the genus name Helicobacter derives) is thought to have evolved to penetrate the mucous lining of the stomach ...

  3. Urea breath test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea_breath_test

    Patients swallow urea labelled with an uncommon isotope, either radioactive carbon-14 (nowadays preferred in many countries) or non-radioactive carbon-13.In the subsequent 10–30 minutes, the detection of isotope-labelled carbon dioxide in exhaled breath indicates that the urea was split; this indicates that urease (the enzyme that H. pylori uses to metabolize urea to produce ammonia) is ...

  4. Rapid urease test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_urease_test

    Rapid urease test, also known as the CLO test (Campylobacter-like organism test), is a rapid diagnostic test for diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori. [1] The basis of the test is the ability of H. pylori to secrete the urease enzyme, which catalyzes the conversion of urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide.

  5. Peptic ulcer disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptic_ulcer_disease

    Helicobacter pylori is one of the major causative factors of peptic ulcer disease. It secretes urease to create an alkaline environment, which is suitable for its survival. It expresses blood group antigen-binding adhesin (BabA) and outer inflammatory protein adhesin (OipA), which enables it to attach to the gastric epithelium.

    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 ...

  7. Diagnostic microbiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnostic_Microbiology

    The CLO test is used to diagnose H. Pylori in patient biopsies. A sample of the biopsy is places in a medium containing urea, which H. Pylori can use in some of its biochemical pathways. Consumption of urea indicates a positive test result. [23]
