How does h. pylori live in the acidic environment of the stomach?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Helicobacter pylori : H pylori does not actually live in the acid environment of the stomach, rather it lives in the mucus layer on the surface of the stomach itself. Inside this mucus layer it is protected from the acid. Hope that helps.
