Campylobacter pylori, a bacterium specifically adapted to the environment of gastric mucous is closely associated with peptic gastric diseases. It is detected within the mucus and in relationship to the intercellular spaces in cases of active chronic gastritis. Approximately 70% of patients with chronic type-B-gastritis are infected with C. pylori. In type A or reflux gastritis C. pylori is hardly seen. A causal relationship seems likely. More than 80% of patients with duodenal ulcer and round half of the cases with gastric ulcer show C. pylori in the gastric mucosa. The pathomechanism, how C. pylori facilitates the development of peptic ulcer is since hypothetical. It is discussed that the bacterium leads to a local breakdown of gastric mucosal defence.

D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
