Immunocytochemistry detects helicobacter pylori in oral, stomach, and rectal mucosa, suggesting spread via coccoid forms.
Helicobacter pylori (HP) was verified in human stomach (antrum), mouth and rectum in the same patients by means of immunocytochemistry.This technique allows detect both coccoid and spiral forms of HP. Results of HP detection in oral cavity and rectum corresponded with HP detection in stomach in 80% and 83%, respectively. Immunocytochemical observation of HP in oral, stomach and rectum mucosa let make a suggestion that HP bacterial cells enter human gut as coccoids, colonize stomach mucosa as vegetable spirals forms and leave human gut for out as coccoid forms. Thus our data strongly support hypothesis that HP infection spread and contaminate human gut through coccoid forms.
