Description: The spiral shaped bacterium Helicobacter pylori is strongly associated with inflammationof the stomach and is also implicated in the development of gastric malignancy. H. pyloriis known to cause peptic ulcers and chronic gastritis in human. It is associated withduodenal ulcers and may be involved in development of adenocarcimona and low-gradelymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue in the stomach. More recently thisbacterium has also been implicated with a number of vascular disorders including heartdisease. It is not clear how H. pylori is transmitted or why some patients becomesymptomatic while others do not. The bacteria are most likely spread from person toperson through fecal-to-oral or oral-to-oral routes. Possible environmental reservoirsinclude contaminated water sources. Serological tests that measure specific H. pylori IgGantibodies can determine if a person has been infected although these methods do havedrawbacks and limitations.

Specificity: This antibody detects Helicobacter Pylori.
