Hello,
Welcome to HCM
H. pylori is a spiral-shaped bacterium present in the stomach of persons.
It is commonly transmitted person-to-person by saliva. It can also be spread by fecal contamination of food or water. Crowded conditions and poor hygiene contributes to higher H. pylori prevalence.
H. pylori enters the body through the mouth, moves through the digestive system, and infects the stomach or the first part of the small intestine.More than 80% of people will be asymptomatic.But infected individuals are prone to get peptic disease.
Hope you are happy with the answer.
Thank you
