Helicobacter: A peculiar epidemic,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Helicobacter Pioneers: Firsthand Accounts from the Scientists who Discovered Helicobacters 1892 - 1982 (Paperback)
Helicobacter has been a revelation as a germ related to peptic ulcer and mainly of precancerous gastric lessions. The book is a really exitant narrative of the steps conducing to this assertion and to the knowledge that many millions of human beings have it in their stomach. The editor and author of one autobiographical chapter, Barry Marshall is also one of the scientists which discovered this amazing relationship, and describe in great detail his predecessors contribution on the previous one hundred years.Among the collaborators are some people that contributed to the book withfisthand accounts of their own research and contrributions to the discovery of the bactery itself and also of its role as peptic ulcer and gastric cancer etiological agent. Thed presence of the germ in gastric lessons, the polossibility to develop experimental ulcers and transmit it to experimentation animals are described in vivid and exiting accounts. The final step is the paralell and related work by Marshall and Robin Warren in Perth, Austrealia, solving the riddle of peptic ulcer disease and bringing them to a Nobel Prize.
