HP is a spiral, micro- aerophilic bacterium which on gram staining
appears red/violet. It which was first discovered by Robin Warren and
2 Barry Marshall in 1982 as the cause of gastritis and GU , a remarkable
discovery in the olden days that revolutionized gastro-enetrology.
Warren and Marshall, won Nobel prize for the great demonstration of
HP infection. Prior to this discovery the stomach was assumed to be a
sterile surface. “HP, formerly known as Campylobacter-pyloridis then
Campylo-bacter-pylori''. Its exact mode of transmission is uncertain.
HP was isolated from the human stomach and thus the mechanism
by which it colonizes the stomach gastric epithelium demonstrated by
few theories. HP is known to cause of APD, which forms as DU and GU.
Also HP is regnised as class 1 carcinogen, as it leads to development of
gastric adenocarcinoma, one of the world's morbid and mortality
3
associated cancers .
