There have been various revised versions of Koch’s postulates including Frederick and Relman’s, which are based more on detecting the presence of microbial nucleic acid. Many colonized patients remain asymptomatic, but some patients can develop a range of upper GI illnesses. Syndromes with a strong statistical link with H. pylori include chronic gastritis, gastric ulceration (except where associated with NSAIDs), duodenal ulceration, gastric carcinoma, and gastric lymphoma. Carriage of H. pylori seems to be actually protective against some diseases—namely oesophageal reflux and carcinoma.
