Top Highlights
- The infection rate can be as high as 90% in developing countries, though it is usually less than 30% in developed countries
- general prevalence of H. pylori in Australia has been reported as ranging from 15% to 30%
- the prevalence among Aboriginal Australians can reach as high as 76%
- Helicobacter pylori is believed to be transmitted between close family members via oral–oral, gastric–oral or faecal–oral routes, usually during childhood and usually from mother to children
- the sequence heterogeneity within H. pylori is very high (Tay et al., 2009), likely due to the lack of a proof-reading function in DNA polymerase I (Garcia-Ortiz et al., 2011) together with a very high recombination rate that facilitates the exchange of genes between genetically different isolates
