Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Peptic ulcer is caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori. It is a gram-negative bacteria which are highly motile and slightly helical in shape. Peptic ulcer is breaking the lining of the stomach or duodenum of the small intestine. This pathogen have several virulence factors to colonize the human stomach. Peptic ulcer is mainly caused by the activity this bacteria.
