Peptic ulcer disease

(characteristics)

 

Definition

 

Gastric and Duodenal ulcers

Can grow in highly acidic habitat

Produces urease which converts urea to ammonia (basic compound) and neutralizes the immediate area around the cell

Longer you live, more likely to infect, may be spread by water

Body reacts with inflammatory response
