Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a common type of bacteria that infects the lining of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine. 

H.Pylori germs seem to spread through contact with an infected person’sbodily fluids, including vomit, stool or saliva. 

The H. Pylori can lead to Peptic Ulcers, Gastritis, Stomach cancer etc.

An H. pylori stool test (stool antigen test) is a highly accurate, non-invasive method that detects active Helicobacter pylori bacteria in your digestive tract.— a major cause of stomach ulcers and peptic ulcer disease.

A positive test result means you’ll need antibiotics to kill the bacteria and clear the infection.
