What bacteria can survive the acidic conditions of the stomach?
Helicobacter Pylori
How does H. pylori cause stomach ulcers?
H. pylori are able to survive in stomach acid because they produce enzymes (special proteins) that neutralize the acid. This mechanism allows H. pylori bacteria to enter the stomach and make their way to the "safe" area - the protective mucous lining of the stomach wall. When the bacterium is in the mucous lining of the stomach, the body's natural defenses cannot reach it. The immune system will respond to an H. pylori infection but will not be able to kill the bacteria since they are hidden in the stomach lining. The immune system will keep sending infection fighters to the infection site and H. pylori will feed on the nutrients provided by the body, allowing them (the bacteria) to survive in the stomach environment.
Does H pylori cause growling in the stomach?
H pylori does not cause growling in stomach. H pylori is associated with acid peptic disease.
Why can't bacteria survive in the stomach?
H. pylori live in the mucous lining of the stomach. Safe inside there, they are able to fight the stomach acid that does reach it with urease it releases. Urease converts the urea in the stomach into bicarbonate and ammonia, which are strong bases. This creates a cloud of acid-neutralizing chemicals around the H. pylori, protecting it from stomach acid.
Why doesn't stomach acid kill helicobacter pylori?
H. pylori is able to survive in stomach acid because it secretes enzymes that neutralize the acid. This mechanism allows H. pylori to make its way to the "safe" area: the protective mucous lining. Once there, the bacterium's spiral shape helps it burrow through the lining.
What is Hpilouri?
I think you mean H. Pylori or Heliocobacter Pylori. They are peptic ulcers found in the stomach.
Can H pylori survive in the stomach without urea?
J Clin Invest. 2001;108(6):929-937.To answer it indirectly, there is very little urea in the stomatch and the toxin VacA opens channels to promote diffusion of urea into the stomatch

What is the scientific name for stomach ulcer?
The scientific name for a stomach ulcer is gastric ulcer, which is commonly caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori infecting the stomach lining.
Why the acid in the stomach does not kill helicobacter?
H. pylori is able to survive in stomach acid because it secretes enzymes that neutralize the acid. This mechanism allows H. pylori to make its way to the "safe" area-the protective mucous lining. Once there, the bacterium's spiral shape helps it burrow through the lining. hope this helps :)
