Scientists have found a compound, sulforaphane, kills
Helicobacter pylori, a tough, antibiotic-resistant bacterium
that causes ulcers and stomach cancers. Researchers at Johns Hopkins
Medical School in Baltimore and at the French National Scientific
Research Center in Paris, found the compound killed two types of
resistant strains of H. pylori both inside and outside the
cell, shedding hope on being able to kill the organisms at the intracellular level.
