Explanation:

Peptic ulcers refer to sores that develop in the mucous membrane of different organs in the digestive system including the esophagus, the stomach, and the duodenum. These ulcers develop due to two main facts the first one is an excess of acid and the second one is the Heliobacter pylori that might cause inflammation and sores including peptic ulcers. Due to this, the treatment for these ulcers often includes a combination of medicines that aim at treating the Heliobacter pylori infection and reducing, stopping or controlling acid production. Thus, the statement that indicates the best understanding of the medication regimen is "The medications will kill the bacteria and stop the acid production".

this disease is :

* endemic (present in a defined area that is a village)

* a bacterial infection (treated with antibiotic)

* communicable by contact (by the hands)

manu-porterage is the most common mode of transmission, it transmits germs from one individual to another via the hands. this concerns infections of exogenous origin.

endemic disease, or endemic disease, refers to a disease that is constantly present in a given population, often tied to a specific geographic origin, as opposed to a pandemic that is not a sporadic disease.

antibiotics are molecules that have the property of killing (bactericidal) or limiting the spread (bacteriostatic) of bacteria.
