Helicobacter pylori is a gram negative bacterium that has been shown to be the causative organism in some gastric and duodenal ulcers. It is the most common cause of antral gastritis and has been linked to the development of the distal gastric carcinoma and low grade gastric lymphoma. Helicobacter pylori has been shown to survive in the acid environment of the stomach and is able to destroy the neutral mucin that the surface epithelial cells secrete. Identification in a gastric biopsy and prompt treatment with antibiotics can lead to a speedy recovery for the patient. Alcian Yellow Staining Kit stains the Helicobacter pylori blue, the background blue, and the mucin yellow.
Note: Open only one Alcian Yellow Clarifier vial at a time. Each vial is stable for ONE month after opening.
