Helicobacter pylori

Product Description

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.¹⁵
