Helicobacter pylori are spiral-curved, gram-negative bacteria that
can infect the surface epithelium of the mucous layer of the stomach. There is
evidence showing that these bacteria may play a significant role in peptic ulcer
disease. Immunohistochemical techniques can distinguish Helicobacter pylori from
other types of bacterial infections. This small spiral-curved shaped bacterium
can be clearly seen using a 100X oil
objective.
