Abstract excerpt
Severe atrophic gastritis, a precursor lesion of gastric carcinoma, is connected, in two different ways, with intragastric bacterial colonization: (1) in advanced atrophic body gastritis (type A), achlorhydria or severe hypochlorhydria leads to bacterial overgrowth with aerobic and anaerobic flora enabling the conversion of nitrate to nitrite and further to N-nitroso compounds; (2) the newly re-discovered...
