Helicobacter pylori, Biology, Gastric BacteriaAbstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a common gastrointestinal bacterium that infects the stomach and the first part of the small intestine, known as the duodenum. While most individuals infected with H. pylori are asymptomatic and experience no complications, the bacterium can, in some cases, lead to significant health issues. This paper explores H. pylori’s impact on the absorption of key micronutrients and lifestyle factors that influence its prevalence. In addition, we will review current methods of diagnosis, treatment options, and prevention strategies aimed at reducing H. pylori’s spread.
