Helicobacter pylori is found predominantly in human gastric mucosa. Transfer of the bacterium remains an open topic, but it is likely that infection is usually acquired at a young age, particularly where lower socio-economic conditions prevail. Transmission via an external source such as water supply is a possibility but, in general, infection is probably passed from person to person. Arguments for and against faecal-oral, oral-oral and gastric-oral transmission have been presented, but the dominance of one of these routes is still to be determined.
幽门螺杆菌主要存在于人类胃黏膜中。该细菌的传播仍是一个有待探讨的话题,但感染很可能通常在年轻时获得,尤其是在社会经济条件较差的地区。通过外部水源等途径传播是有可能的,但一般来说,感染可能是人与人之间传播。关于粪口传播、口口传播和胃口传播都有相关观点,但这些传播途径中哪种占主导地位仍有待确定。
