However, afier recovery, many patients might develop gastric ulcer again. In the 1980s, an Australian doctor, Barry Marshall, observed that all his ulcer patients had a type of bacteria called Helicakacter pylon! (8 PME He #88) in their stomach. He therefore put forward a new hypothesis about gastric wleer. Based on this hypothesis, he treated his patients with antibiotics which are chemicals that kill bacteria Many of his patients recovered rapidly and did not develop gastric ulcer again If gastric ulcer is caused by excessive seeretion of acid, what kind of chemicals should be used for treatment? (mark) Many doctors were surprised at Marshall's observation because they thought that bacteria could not survive in the siomach, Why did they think so” (mack) With reference to the treatment used by Marshall, what do you think is ils hypothesis about gastric ulcer?
