yes, kids can get H. pylori. In fact, researchers think most people get infected with the H. pylori bacteria when they are kids.
H. pylori is the bacteria associated with peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer.
No. H. pylori is a gram negative, spiral shaped, aerobic bacteria.
Most ulcers are caused by a bacteria called Helicobactor pylori (H. pylori). If you were diagnosed with an ulcer caused by H. pylori hopefully your doctor gave you antibiotics to treat this, if not get checked. An ulcer can not be spread but H. pylori can.
how to get ride of H.pylori-like bacteria
In the stomach they are associated, in greater than 90% of all cases, with the bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori).
Helicobacter pylori is a type of bacteria that may infect around two-thirds of the people in the world. The H. in the name is short for Helicobacter so called because they are spiral in shape as in the word helicopter means spiral.
Xembran® helps to eradicate H. pylori and other pathogenic bacteria. This can also help to develop good gut microflora.
Helicobacter is a genus of bacteria that can infect the stomach lining, leading to conditions like gastritis and peptic ulcers. The most well-known species in this genus is Helicobacter pylori, which is a common cause of stomach ulcers.
H. pylori peptic ulcers are treated with drugs to kill the bacteria, drugs to reduce stomach acid, and drugs to protect the lining of the stomach.
H. pylori are able to survive in stomach acid because they produce enzymes (special proteins) that neutralize the acid. This mechanism allows H. pylori bacteria to enter the stomach and make their way to the "safe" area - the protective mucous lining of the stomach wall. When the bacterium is in the mucous lining of the stomach, the body's natural defenses cannot reach it. The immune system will respond to an H. pylori infection but will not be able to kill the bacteria since they are hidden in the stomach lining. The immune system will keep sending infection fighters to the infection site and H. pylori will feed on the nutrients provided by the body, allowing them (the bacteria) to survive in the stomach environment.
While it is uncommon, h pylori bacteria can be found in the saliva of dogs and can potentially be transmitted to humans through close contact. It's important to practice good hygiene when interacting with pets to help prevent the spread of bacteria.
