Description:H.pylori infection is most likely acquired by ingesting contaminated food and water and through person to person . E.g., genetics, psychological factors, environmental factors feeding habits e.g (diet), and infection [8].All these factors Map stone, C jgchoran., KlM White,. DM Chalmers, MF Dixon.
