Pseudomonas have the potential to reduce nitrate. - Streptococcus and Pseudomonas, both of which have species with the potential to reduce nitrate.

  - H. pyloriis exposed to fairly high concentrations of NO in gastric juice, which has low oxygen tension. - NO directly inhibits the respiration of E. coli whereas it rapidly reacts with endogenously generated superoxide radicals in H. pylori. The resulting peroxynitrite inactivates the respiration of H. pylori.

  - Subjects affected by primary headache have a H. pylori infection prevalence of 40%. - It also found a higher prevalence of migraine without aura in infected patients. - Higher IgM antibody titers against H. pylori in PWM compared to controls. - A positive correlation between IgG antibody titers and severity of migraine. - The serum levels of CGRP, which has been suggested as a biomarker for chronic migraine are also higher in those with H. pylori-associated duodenal ulcers compared with healthy controls.
