Helicobacter Pylori Infection Medications

Definition of Helicobacter Pylori Infection: Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) is the bacterium (germ) that causes most gastritis and ulcers. Gastritis is an irritation in the lining of the stomach; an ulcer is a sore in the lining of the stomach or duodenum.
