The study of peculiarities of H.pylori strains has the specific theoretical and practical value in regions the entire world. There was no study about this problem in Georgia. This article shows the biological properties of local H.pylori strains obtained from patients with chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. The biopsy specimens and resection materials were taken during the operation or endoscopies procedures. The study of biological features of H.pylori was performed by recently applied methods. Strains have typical morphological, cultural and biochemical features, less of them have some particularities.
