Saccharomyces Boulardii in Helicobacter Pylori Eradication in Children: A Randomized Trial From Iran

Update on prevention and treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection

From the first isolation of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) from the gastric mucosa by Marshall and Warren in 1983, 33 years have passed. H. pylori has been found to be closely associated not only with chronic gastric diseases but also with multiple system diseases. Advances in research of H. pylori infection has led to a better understanding of the pathogenicity of H. pylori and the prevention and treatment of related disease. In 2015, Professor Zou's team developed oral recombinant H. pylori vaccine, which is promising in the prevention of H. pylori infection. Japan aims to reduce the risk of H. pylori infection in the whole population in 2014 to reduce the incidence of gastric cancer, which has caused widespread concern. H. pylori infection is a kind of infectious disease, and the infection rate in China is about 56%.Therefore, it is of great clinical importance to strengthen the research on bacteriology and pathogenesis of H. pylori, improve the prevention and treatment related diseases, and seek antibacterial regimens with better efficacy and lower drug resistance.
