What is hpylorie?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A medical mystery!: Helicobacter pylori (or h. Pylori) is a type of bacterium that can live in the stomach, and is associated with ulcers. The discovery of h. Pylori was a medical puzzle! how could bacteria live in the extremely acidic environment of the stomach? But they can; h. Pylori is treated with a combo of antibiotics and acid blockers. Hope that helps. Lgromkomd.
