Helicobacter Pylori
Helicobacter pylori are spiral-curved, gram-negative bacteria that is
present on surface epithelium of the mucous layer of the stomach.
Immunohistochemical techniques using a Helicobacter pylori antibody can
distinguish it from other types of curved bacteria.There is evidence showing
that these bacteria may play a significant role in peptic ulcer disease. A study
has suggested that Helicobacter pylori infection is a risk factor for colorectal
polyps in children. The small spiral-curved shaped bacterium can be seen clearly
using a 100X oil objective under the microscope.
