The oral cavity
Esophagus

Helicobacter pylori bacteria Next question
The bacteria of the species Helicobacter pylori are gram-negative and have a characteristic spiral shape, several cilia at one end that allow them 12. to move around. Helicobacter pylori causes inflammatory changes in the gastric mucosa, and this can cause precancerous changes, which may turn into gastric cancer. Of course, Helicobacter pylori itself does not cause cancer! Many environmental and genetic factors can influence the development of cancer.

between the jejunum and the cecum
between stomach and jejunum
between stomach and jejunum Next question
