Immunity and Helicobacter pylori

Inmunidad y Helicobacter pylori

Abstract

The bacteria called Helicobacter pylori arrived to the American continent 12,000 years ago (1), reaching South America roughly 5,400-4,600 years AC according to research by Pelayo Correa, a Colombian pathologist who found Helicobacter in stool next to Chinchorro mummies in the North of Arica close to the Pacific Ocean. In 2005, Barry Marshall was awarded the Nobel Prize for his studies on Helicobacter pylori together with Robin Warren.
