H. pylori is spirally shaped and has flagella that enable it to pass through the mucus layer to the surface of GECs. It can produce urea enzyme to decompose urea, and then generate ammonia, so that the pH increases, which is conducive to its customization. It can also invade gastric epithelial cells, secrete toxin factors, encourage inflammation and immune response, and destroy the gastric mucosa.
