Helicobacter Pylori is a spiral-shaped bacterium that inhabits the stomach in about 50% of the world population. It is passed from person to person and it is usually contracted during childhood. This bacterium causes a chronic low-level inflammation of the stomach lining and it has been proven that its presence is associated with the development of duodenal and gastric ulcers.

The 13c urea breath test is a rapid diagnostic procedure used to identify infections by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral bacterium implicated in gastritis, gastric ulcer, and peptic ulcer disease. It is based upon the ability of H. pylori to convert urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide. Urea breath tests are recommended in leading society guidelines as a preferred non-invasive choice for detecting H. pylori before and after treatment.
