Helicobacter Pylori (H.Pylori) was first discovered in 1982 by Australian scientists Barry Marshall and Robin Warren. It is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium in the stomach.
H.Pylori is the primary cause of gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and MALT. WHO identified H.Pylori as Class I carcinogen of gastric cancer. More than 50% of the world’s population harbor H.Pylori in their upper gastrointestinal tract.
Why choose UBT?
Urea breath test is a simple, non-invasive and accurate diagnostic technology for detecting H.pylori. It is for diagnosing active H.pylori infection and for monitoring the therapeutic effect of H.pylori eradication.
