No: Helicobacter pylori, previously named Campylobacter pylori, is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium found in the stomach, and may be present in other parts of the body, such as the eye. It may or may not be associated with gastritis or peptic ulcers. It may also be involved in gastric cancers.
