Background Halitosis has been reported in H. pylori–positive patients, and volatile sulfur
compounds such as hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan are known to be responsible
for inducing oral malodor. Whether H. pylori produces these volatile sulfur compounds has
yet to be established. Study Three strains of H. pylori (ATCC 43504, SS 1, DSM 4867) were
cultured with 5 mM cysteine and methionine. After 72 hours of incubation, the headspace air
was aspirated and injected directly into a gas chromatograph. The concentrations of …
