Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection is an infection that occurs in the stomach lining. The bacteria is protected from the body by stomach acid and mucous lining of the stomach. H.pylori infections cause ulcers in the stomach and intestines, and if unproperly treated may lead to stomach cancer. Research has no conclusive evidence of how the bacteria itself is spread. Many articles say it is likely transmitted from either mouth to mouth or fecal to mouth, to include contaminated water/food sources. Roughly 60 percent of every adult worldwide live with the H.pylori bacteria, although many people are asymptomatic (Cancer.org, 2016). Symptoms of H.pylori infection may include excessive burping, nausea, bloating, heartburn, fever, loss of appetite or weight loss. The symptoms can be treated with by combining medications that lower the stomach acid with antibiotics that fight the infection.
