| Abstract: | Barry J Marshall and J Robin Warren from Australia received the Nobel Prize for their discovery of the role of the bacteriumHelicobacter pylori in gastritis and peptic ulcer. Their findings challenged the prevailing dogma about peptic ulcer. Thanks to their pioneering work, peptic ulcer 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. |
