MICROBES AND DISEASES

 1y

Helicobacter pylori is a gram negative bacteria, responsible for more than 80% of peptic ulcer diseas. While other bacteria are killed by the hydrochloric acid in the human stomach, this disastrous microbe continues to thrive in it and even produces ammonia that can neutralise it. Is also one of the leading causes of gastritis.
