Helicobacter pylori: A Flagellate Foe in the Human Gastrointestinal Tract (Image: F007 / 8494, F007 / 8495, F007 / 8493). This microscopic bacterium, depicted in artwork F007 / 8496 and helicobacter bacterium artwork, is a common cause of human infections. Helicobacter pylori is a flagellate bacterium, meaning it propels itself through its environment using whip-like structures called flagella (F007 / 8493). This bacterium colonizes the stomach and duodenum, causing chronic gastritis and increasing the risk of developing peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. Despite its harmful effects, understanding Helicobacter pylori and its mechanisms of infection is crucial for developing effective prevention and treatment strategies.
