Helicobacter pylori and the Central Nervous System: Neurophysiopathology and therapeutic Strategies in Psychiatry - Abstract
The Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacterium is a Gram-negative bacillus recognized in humans as responsible for a multitude of benign or malignant gastric diseases. Its identification in 1982 was the result of the valuable work of two Australian scientists and researchers, John Robin Warren and Barry James Marshall, who were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2005. Gastric infection with H. pylori is recognized as one of the most widespread chronic bacterial infections globally.
