Helicobacter pylori Bacteria

Illustration of Helicobacter pylori bacteria, a gram-negative spiral-shaped bacterium found in the mucus lining of the stomach. It causes gastritis, and is also the most common cause of stomach ulcers. It may also be a cause or co-factor for gastric cancer as its presence increases the risk of developing stomach tumors. Labeled are the flagella, double membrane, and circular chromosome.
