Answer

For reference, genuine features of H. pylori infection include: a gram-negative, curved/spiral, flagellated organism that colonizes the gastric mucus layer; produces urease (enabling the urea breath test and rapid urease test for diagnosis); causes chronic gastritis (predominantly antral) and is the leading cause of peptic ulcer disease (duodenal and gastric ulcers); associated with increased risk of gastric adenocarcinoma and gastric MALT lymphoma; visualized on Giemsa or Warthin-Starry silver stain.
