Effective measures for primary prevention of the H.pylori infection include hand washing (antibacterial soaps), avoid contaminated food and water, maintain proper hygiene (hand sanitizers, antiseptic washes) and avoid close contact with infected family members ( e.g., kissing, by sharing eating utensils and drinking glasses).


==Overview==
==Primary Prevention==
Since the source of [[H. pylori]] is not yet known, recommendations for avoiding infection have not been made. In general, it is always wise for persons to wash hands thoroughly, to eat food that has been properly prepared, and to drink water from a safe, clean source.
Effective measures for primary prevention of the H.pylori infection include:
*Hand washing (antibacterial soaps)
*Avoid contaminated food and water
*Maintain proper hygiene (hand sanitizers, antiseptic washes)
*Avoid close contact with infected family members ( e.g., kissing, by sharing eating utensils and drinking glasses)


CDC, with partners in other government agencies, academic institutions, and industry, is conducting a national education campaign to inform health care providers and consumers of the link between H. pylori and stomach and duodenal ulcers. CDC is also working with partners to study routes of transmission and possible prevention measures, and to establish an antimicrobial resistance surveillance system to monitor the changes in resistance among H. pylori strains in the United States.
