Helicobacter pylori is generally unable to ferment lactose. This bacterium primarily relies on amino acids, organic acids, and other substrates for its energy needs rather than carbohydrates like lactose. While it can utilize some sugars, lactose is not one of them, which is consistent with its adaptation to the acidic environment of the stomach where it resides.
