Robin Warren 1/2 of the prize 1/2 of the prize Australia Australia NHMRC Helicobacter pylori Research Laboratory, QEII Medical Centre; University of Western Australia Nedlands, Australia Perth, Australia b. 1951 b. 1937 Summary This year's Nobel Laureates in Physiology or Medicine made the remarkable and unexpected discovery that inflammation in the stomach (gastritis) as well as ulceration of the stomach or duodenum (peptic ulcer disease) is the result of an infection of the stomach caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. Robin Warren (born 1937), a pathologist from Perth, Australia, observed small curved bacteria colonizing the lower part of the stomach (antrum) in about 50% of patients from which biopsies had been taken. He made the crucial observation that
signs of inflamation were always present in the gastric mucosa close to where the bacteria were seen. Barry Marshall (born 1951).a young clinical fellow,becane interested in Warren's findings and together they initiated a study of biopsies from 100 patients. After several attempts,Marshall succeeded in cultivating a hitherto unknown bacterial species (later denoted Belfcabacter pylori)from several of these biopsies.Together they found that the organism was present in almost all patients with gastrie inflammation.duodenal ulcer or gastric ulcer.Based on these results, they proposed thathelicobacter pylorf is involved in the aetiology of these diseases. Even though peptie uleers could be healed by inhibiting gastric acid production, they frequently relapsed.since bacteria and chronic inflammation of the stomch remained.In treatment studies,Marshall and Warren as well as others showed that patients could be cured from their peptic ulcer disease only when the bacteria were eradicated from the stomsch.Thanks to the pioneering discovery by Marshall and Warren,peptic ulcer disease is no longer a chronic.frequently disabling condition, but a disease that can be cured by a short regimen of antibiotics and acid secretion inhibitors. Peptic ulcer an infectious diseasel This year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine goes to Barry Marshall and Robin Narren,who with tenacity and a prepared mind challenged prevailing dogmas. By using technologies generally available (fibre endoscopy.silver staining of histological sections and culture techniques for microaerophilie bacteria),they made an irrefutable case that the bacterium Relfcolcter pylorf is causing disease.By culturing the bacteria they made them amenable to scientific study. In 1982.when this hacterium was discovered by Marshall and Warren,stress and lifestyle were considered the major causes of peptic ulcer disease.It is now firmly established that Me/fcobacter pylori causes more than 90%of duodenal ulcers and up to 80%of gastric ulcers.The link between/e/fcobcter py/ori infection and

Peptic ulcer – an infectious disease! This year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine goes to Barry Marshall and Robin Warren, who with tenacity and a prepared mind challenged prevailing dogmas. By using technologies generally available (fibre endoscopy, silver staining of histological sections and culture techniques for microaerophilic bacteria), they made an irrefutable case that the bacterium Helicobacter pylori is causing disease. By culturing the bacteria they made them amenable to scientific study. In 1982, when this bacterium was discovered by Marshall and Warren, stress and lifestyle were considered the major causes of peptic ulcer disease. It is now firmly established that Helicobacter pylori causes more than 90% of duodenal ulcers and up to 80% of gastric ulcers. The link betweenHelicobacter pylori infection and
subsequent gastritis and peptic ulcer disease has been established through studies of human volunteers,antibiotic treatment studies and epidemiological studies. Helfcobacter pylorf causes life-long infection Me/icobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped Gram-negative bacterium that colonizes the stomach in about 50%of all humans.In countries with high socio-econonic standards infection is considerably less common than in developing countries where virtually everyone may be infected. Infection is typically contracted in early chfldhood,frequemtly by transnission fron nother to child.and the bacteria may remain in the stomach for the rest of the person's life.This chronic infection is initiated in the lower part of the stomach (antrum).As first reported by Robim arrem,the presence ofBe/fcolacter pyforf is always associated with an inflamation of the underlying gastric rucosa as evidenced by an infiltration of inflammtory cells. The infection is usually asymptomatic but can cause peptic ulcer The severity of this inflammation and its location in the stomach is of crucial importance for the diseases that can result from Me/icobacter pylori infection. In most individuals Blfcoecter pylorfinfection is asymptomatic.However,about 10-15%of infected individuals will sone tine experience peptic ulcer disease.Such ulcers are more comon in the duodenum than in the storach itself.Severe complications include bleeding and perforation. The current view is that the chromic inflammation in the distal part of the stomch caused hyMelicobacter pylori infection results in an increased acid production from the non-infected upper corpus region of the stoasch.This will predispose for ulcer development in the more vulnerable duodenun. Malignancies associated with Holfcohacter pylari infection In some individuals Belfcobacter pylori also infects the corpus region of the stomach.This results in a more widespread inflammat ion that predisposes not only

Helicobacter pylori causes life-long infection Helicobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped Gram-negative bacterium that colonizes the stomach in about 50% of all humans. In countries with high socio-economic standards infection is considerably less common than in developing countries where virtually everyone may be infected. Infection is typically contracted in early childhood, frequently by transmission from mother to child, and the bacteria may remain in the stomach for the rest of the person's life. This chronic infection is initiated in the lower part of the stomach (antrum). As first reported by Robin Warren, the presence ofHelicobacter pylori is always associated with an inflammation of the underlying gastric mucosa as evidenced by an infiltration of inflammatory cells. The infection is usually asymptomatic but can cause peptic ulcer The severity of this inflammation and its location in the stomach is of crucial importance for the diseases that can result from Helicobacter pylori infection. In most individuals Helicobacter pyloriinfection is asymptomatic. However, about 10-15% of infected individuals will some time experience peptic ulcer disease. Such ulcers are more common in the duodenum than in the stomach itself. Severe complications include bleeding and perforation. The current view is that the chronic inflammation in the distal part of the stomach caused byHelicobacter pylori infection results in an increased acid production from the non-infected upper corpus region of the stomach. This will predispose for ulcer development in the more vulnerable duodenum. Malignancies associated with Helicobacter pylori infection In some individuals Helicobacter pylori also infects the corpus region of the stomach. This results in a more widespread inflammation that predisposes not only
to ulcer in the corpus region,but also to stomsch cancer.This cancer has decreased in incidence in many countries during the last half-century but still ranks as number two in the world in terms of cancer deaths. Inflammation in the stomch mucosa is also a risk factor for a special type of lymphatic neoplasn in the stonsch,MALT (mucosa associated lymphoid tissue)lyrpboma. Since such lymphonas may regress when Rfcobcrer pylorf is eradicated by antibiotics,the bacterium plays an important role in perpetuating this tunour. Disease or not interaction between the bacterium and the human host Melfcobacter pylorf is present only in humans and has adapted to the stomach environment.Only a minority of infected individuals develop stomach disease.After Marshall's and Warren's discovery,research has been intense.Details underlying the exact pathogenetic mechanisms are continuously being unravelled. The bacteriun itself is extremely variable.and strains differ markedly in many aspects,such as adherence to the gastric mucosa and ability to provoke inflammtion. Even in a single infected individual all bacteria are not identical,and during the course of chronie infection hacteria adapt to the changing conditions in the stomach with time. Likewise,genetic variations among humans may affect their susceptibility to Melicobacter pylorf.Not until recently has an animal model been established, the Mongolian gerbil.In this amimal,studies of peptic ulcer disease and malignant transformation proaise to give pore detailed information on disease nechanisas. Antibiotics cure but can lead to resistance Melicobacter prlori infection can be diagnosed by antibody tests.by identifying the organism in biopsies taken during endoscopy.or by the non-invasive breath test that identiffes bacterial production of an enzyme in the stomach.
