Researchers are looking for a type of rare stomach bacteria called non-H. pylori Helicobacter species in patients with various stomach conditions, including indigestion, chronic stomach inflammation, and stomach cancer. The study will analyze small tissue samples that are routinely collected during medical procedures or surgeries. The goal is to understand how common these bacteria are and whether they play a role in causing or worsening stomach disease.
Most stomach bacteria research focuses on one well-known type called H. pylori, but other related bacteria may also affect stomach health. This study aims to fill that gap by investigating whether these less-studied bacteria contribute to digestive problems and serious conditions like stomach cancer.

If you qualify, researchers will collect a small tissue sample from your stomach during a procedure you're already scheduled for (such as an endoscopy or cancer surgery). No extra procedures are needed—the samples come from biopsies or tissue that would be removed anyway. The tissue is then analyzed to detect the presence of rare bacteria.
