Normal microbiota case study #3: Helicobacter pylori About half of healthy human adults asymptomatically harbor the gram-negative spirochete Helicobacter pylori in their stomachs. A spicy food-loving 66-year-old man dealing with indigestion starts taking antacids regularly to relieve heartburn. After several months of taking antacids, he develops a peptic ulcer in his stomach caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. Answer these questions about your scenario in the textbox: 1.
