It is one of the main causes of stomach ulcers.
The scientific name for a stomach ulcer is gastric ulcer, which is commonly caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori infecting the stomach lining.
I think you mean H. Pylori or Heliocobacter Pylori. They are peptic ulcers found in the stomach.
In the stomach they are associated, in greater than 90% of all cases, with the bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori).
H. pylori infection
H. pylori infection can cause symptoms such as stomach growling, also known as borborygmi, due to the disruption of the stomach's normal function and the inflammation it causes. Other gastrointestinal symptoms like stomach pain, bloating, and nausea may also be present. Consulting a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment is recommended.

Helicobacter Pylori
H. pylori peptic ulcers are treated with drugs to kill the bacteria, drugs to reduce stomach acid, and drugs to protect the lining of the stomach.
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.
Garlic has been shown to have antibacterial properties that can help inhibit the growth of H. pylori bacteria in the stomach, potentially reducing the severity of infection.
No, Helicobacter pylori is not considered part of the normal flora of the human stomach. It is a type of bacteria that can colonize the stomach lining and is associated with various gastrointestinal conditions like gastritis and ulcers.
Garlic has been shown to have antibacterial properties that can help inhibit the growth of H. pylori, the bacteria responsible for causing stomach ulcers and other gastrointestinal issues. Consuming garlic may help reduce the levels of H. pylori in the stomach and potentially aid in the treatment of H. pylori infection.
