Abstract

In the last decade, the dogma that no bacteria could grow in the acid milieu of the stomach has been destroyed by evidence that the infective agent, H. pylori, is responsible for gastric and duodenal disease. Studies on H. pylori infection suggest that some strains of intestinal bacteria may be responsible for intestinal ulceration and inflammation concomitant with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), i.e., ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Evidence for pathophysiological roles for certain strains of luminal bacteria result from a number of IBD animal models. Recent studies on innate immunity, including toll-like receptors and NOD isoforms, suggest that bacterial infections may contribute to intestinal inflammation in genetically susceptible hosts. This brief review focuses on the bacterial pathogenesis and the role of innate immunity in the etiology of IBD's.

Atrophic Gastritis

Atrophic Gastritis is a process where gastric glandular cells are lost and replaced with firbous tissues, as a result of chronic inflammation. Learn more about Atrophic Gastritis here.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
