Gastritis/ Gastric Ulcers by Ariana Santana https://padlet.com/arianasantana1/nf5famw0v1rqpbum Disease Project en-us 2022-04-15 01:42:51 UTC 2025-06-03 11:20:22 UTC hello@padlet.com 2) Virulence Factor of the pathogen & how it contributes to pathogenicity arianasantana1 https://padlet.com/arianasantana1/nf5famw0v1rqpbum/wish/2144521808 The virulence factors of H. pylori relates with three major pathogenic processes; colonization, immune escape and disease induction. The virulence factors known for establishing colonization include urease, flagella, chemotaxis system, and adhesins.
This relates to pathogenicity by leading to the deterioration of the stomach by resulting in erosion or ulceration of the mucosa and the destruction of the glandular layer.]]> 2022-04-15 01:46:11 UTC https://padlet.com/arianasantana1/nf5famw0v1rqpbum/wish/2144521808 1) Causative Agent & Scientific Name arianasantana1 https://padlet.com/arianasantana1/nf5famw0v1rqpbum/wish/2144617656 Helicobacter pylori or H. pylori bacteria are the main cause of chronic gastritis and stomach/gastric ulcers. The bacteria breaks down the stomach's protective lining and leads to inflammation. ]]> 2022-04-15 03:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/arianasantana1/nf5famw0v1rqpbum/wish/2144617656 3) One Treatment & the treatment mode of action-how the treatment affects the pathogen/disease symptoms. arianasantana1 https://padlet.com/arianasantana1/nf5famw0v1rqpbum/wish/2144619127 -Omeprazole: stops cells in the lining of the stomach from producing too much acid 
-Known as a protein pump (responsible for releasing acid into the stomach). 
-A drug like Omeprazole will block the release of acid and decreasing the amount of acid in the stomach.
-Can also help to prevent ulcers from forming, or assist the healing process where damage might have already occurred.  ]]> 2022-04-15 03:54:52 UTC https://padlet.com/arianasantana1/nf5famw0v1rqpbum/wish/2144619127 4) Sequelae (long term effects) arianasantana1 https://padlet.com/arianasantana1/nf5famw0v1rqpbum/wish/2144619392 -If left untreated, gastritis may lead to stomach ulcers and stomach bleeding.
-It is rare, but some forms of chronic gastritis may increase the risk of stomach cancer if there is extensive thinning of the stomach lining.

-In recent years, new H. pylori vaccine development programs have been initiated by small companies and academic institutions but to current knowledge, no large biotechnology company has a current H. pylori vaccine development program. 
-Eating smaller and more frequent meals
-Eat less acidic,fatty,spicy, and fried foods
-Reduce stress

-Burning ache or pain in the upper abdomen 
-Nausea & Vomiting
-A feeling of fullness after eating small amounts.
-Weight loss
-Not wanting to eat because of pain
-Bloating
Fun Facts!
-Gastritis is the inflammation of the stomach lining, while ulcers are open sores in the lining of the stomach. 
-Doctor may order an upper GI endoscopy with biopsies to diagnose gastritis and gastropathy, as well as determine the cause and manage complications.
-It can occur suddenly (acute) or gradually (chronic).
