A thesis submitted to the Department of Mathematics And Natural Science in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of B.Sc. in Microbiology, 2024. Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (pages 44-50). Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a significant global health concern, implicated in thepathogenesis of peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. To assess the prevalence and potential determinants of H. pylori infection in Narayanganj, Bangladesh, we conducted four medical campsin the Hrisipara slum areas of Nitaiganj and swampy areas of Haziganj. A total of 40.5% of thetested population were found to be positive for H. pylori, with a slightly higher prevalence observedamong men (41.5%) compared to women (39.6%). Our findings suggested that poor socioeconomicconditions, characterized by inadequate access to clean water sources, proximity to sewage lines anddrainage systems, and frequent consumption of food from roadside vendors might contribute to thehigh prevalence of H. pylori among these people. These environmental and behavioral factors likelycontribute to the high prevalence of H. pylori infection observed in the study population. Theseresults underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions aimed at improving water sanitation, promoting hygienic food practices, and addressing socioeconomic disparities to effectively combat H. pylori infection in Narayanganj, Bangladesh.
