Complex routes of infection of the stomach bacterium Helicobacter pylori

MHH-Researchers: The transmission of the bacterium depends on the circumstances

More than half of all people worldwide are infected with Helicobacter pylori. The bacterium can cause inflammation of the stomach lining, stomach and duodenal ulcers, and cancer. In Germany, too, 30 to 40 percent of the population are affected. However, how the bacterium is transmitted remains largely unclear. What is certain is that it is taken up by mouth. "For more than 20 years there has been a dogma that this mainly happens within families - because of the intensive contact that parents and children or siblings have with one another," says Professor Dr. Sebastian Suerbaum, head of the Institute for Medical Microbiology and Hospital Hygiene at the Hannover Medical School (MHH). His team, together with that of Professor Dr. Mark Achtman from the Berlin Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology (now University of Cork, Ireland) and cooperation partners from South Africa, the USA and Great Britain found that this dominance of intra-family transmission, especially with good socio-economic conditions such as good hygiene and less close contact between Families is the case. "If the hygiene status is lower and there is closer contact between people from different families, the bacterium also spreads 'horizontally' between people who are not closely related," says Professor Suerbaum. This transmission could, for example, involve people looking after children from several families, which is the norm in the villages in South Africa that were examined. The research results were published in today's issue of the renowned journal "PLoS Pathogens".
