Helicobacter pylori

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is considered the most prevalent human pathogen, infecting more than 50% of the global population. Although H. pylori is most commonly associated with malignant conditions like gastric cancer, it also contributes to a range of chronic, non-cancerous gastrointestinal disorders, including chronic and atrophic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, functional dyspepsia, iron deficiency anemia, and vitamin B12 deficiency.
