Helicobacter Disease and Infection Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6193
The Helicobacter Disease and Infection Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that illustrates how Helicobacter pylori colonizes the stomach and causes gastric disease.
It is used in microbiology and medical courses to explain the organism's survival mechanism in gastric acid and its link to peptic ulcer disease.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Morphology | Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative, spiral-shaped, flagellated bacterium adapted to the gastric environment |
| Urease Production | Produces urease, which converts urea to ammonia, neutralizing stomach acid around the bacterium for survival |
| Colonization Site | Colonizes the gastric mucus layer, primarily in the antrum of the stomach |
| Associated Diseases | Linked to chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and an increased risk of gastric cancer and MALT lymphoma |
| Diagnostic Tests | Detected using the urea breath test, rapid urease test, stool antigen test, or histological examination |
Key Features
- Illustrates the colonization mechanism of Helicobacter pylori in the stomach
- Shows the role of urease in bacterial survival against gastric acid
- Explains the link between H. pylori infection and gastric disease
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use
- Compact benchtop format suitable for laboratories and lecture halls

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Helicobacter Disease and Infection Model demonstrate?
A. It demonstrates how Helicobacter pylori colonizes the stomach and causes gastric disease.
Q2. How does Helicobacter pylori survive stomach acid?
A. It produces urease, which converts urea to ammonia, neutralizing acid in its immediate surroundings.
Q3. What diseases are linked to Helicobacter pylori infection?
A. It is linked to chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and an increased risk of gastric cancer and MALT lymphoma.
Q4. How is Helicobacter pylori infection diagnosed?
A. It is diagnosed using the urea breath test, rapid urease test, stool antigen test, or histological examination.
Q5. Who uses this model?
A. Microbiology and medical students and faculty use it to study Helicobacter pylori infection.
