H. pylori is more common in __ blacks and hispanics
H. pylori lives in the gastric mucous layer adjacent to the epithelial surface
adaptations of H. pylori urease production provides buffering, residenc in mucus layer, creates ionic gradient at low pH
concurrent use of __ will cause false negative results except on H. pylori serology or biopsy w/ histology PPI, antibiotics, or bismuth
