Prof Barry J Marshall may be the only researchers in the world who want to drink the bacteria to prove the hypothesis. Barry James Marshall is an Australian doctor who proved that the bacterium Helicobacter pylori can lead to inflammatory disease of the stomach. This invention changed the belief that the medical community at that time believed that bacteria can not live in the human stomach has a high acid content (pH around 2). Many scientists reject the hypothesis, but Marshall was convinced that he was right.

In 1981 Marshall met with Robin Warren at the Royal Perth Hospital, at a training. They then studied the presence of bacteria associated with gastritis. A year later they developed the hypothesis that bacteria can cause stomach cancer and gastric inflammation.

Drinking Bacteria To (Research) Health

In 1984, Marshall drank a petri dish containing himself bacteria H. pylori and then immediately infected gastritis, with symptoms of discomfort in the stomach, nausea, vomiting and bad breath. Two weeks after infection, the results of Marshall’s stomach showed no bacteria. However, since forced his wife, Marshall and then taking the antibiotic immediately after that and could not re-check the negative results of the examination. This experiment was published in 1985 in the Medical Journal of Australia. This research eventually led to the discovery of a combination of drugs that can kill the bacteria H.pylori and gastric removed permanently injured.

Helicobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped bacteria that are sensitive to pH. These bacteria belonged to Gram-negative, microaerophilic and are living in between the layers of mucus and epithelial surfaces in the stomach. Spiral-shaped body and the existence of a Helicobacter pylori flagella can move from the lumen of the stomach (low pH) to the layer of mucus (pH neutral). Helicobacter pylori produces large amounts of urease enzyme which can outline of urea in the gastric juices into ammonia and carbon dioxide. Ammonia is produced to protect the influence of Helicobacter pyloridari acid. Helicobacter pylori produces a protein that blocks acid enable them to adapt to the low pH environment of the stomach.

International Agency for Research into Cancer (IARC) classifies H.pylori as “Class-I-Carcinogen” is included in the same category with the dangers of smoking to lung cancer and respiratory tract. Gastritis is a basic condition that can eventually lead to injury and other gastrointestinal complaints, and even can lead to stomach cancer. This disease affects nearly 50 percent of the world. The hypothesis that H.pylori is a causative factor of stomach cancer in the end accepted WHO
