Helicobacter pylori
Helicobacter pylori: previously known as Campylobacter pylori, is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium usually found in the stomach. These germs can enter your body and live in your digestive tract. After many years, they can cause sores, called ulcers, in the lining of your stomach or the upper part of your small intestine.
