| Helicobacter pylori |
(hel-ih-ko-BAK-tur py-LOR-ee). A corkscrew-shaped bacterium that lives and multiplies within the mucous layer that lines the stomach and small intestine. Often, H. pylori causes no problems. But sometimes it can disrupt the mucous layer and inflame and erode digestive tissues, producing gastritis and occasionally an ulcer.
