Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacteria found in the inner lining of the stomach and/or duodenum, that causes chronic inflammation. H. pylori has been associated with several health conditions, and is known to be the strongest potential risk factor for gastric cancer. It is estimated that 20-30% of the adult population in the United States is infected with the bacteria. You can learn more by visiting www.helicobacterpyloritest.com
