The Campylobacter pylori Story

Pages 58-66 | Published online: 08 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

The Campylobacter pylori story began before the turn of the century, with early works describing ‘spirochaetes’ in the gastric mucosa of animals. Culture of the organism in 1982 enabled investigators to make sense of the many previous works concerning the microbiology, biochemistry, and histology of the gastric mucosa. Whereas some physicians remain skeptical of C. pylori's pathogenic role, those who have studied the new organism believe it is a major gastrointestinal pathogen and see the possibility of curative therapy for what is now called ‘acid peptic disease’.
