The "triple therapy" for eradicating it was developed by Thomas Borody, and that method includes amoxicillin, clarithromycin and omeprazole, the last of which is a proton pump inhibitor.
It delivers a toxin with a flower-like ring complex to the host cell that is able to form pores in epithelial barriers that enables it acquire nutrients. In addition to the toxin VacA, it is notable for having its genome sequenced by Jean-F. Tomb.

One study found it present in 88% of infants who died of SIDS, and this organism can also produce urease, which is broken down into ammonia and carbon dioxide. Barry Marshall once drank a solution containing vast amounts of it in an attempt to fulfill Koch's postulates, and this member of class Epsilonproteobacteria is present in more than half of the global human population.
