Relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and gastrointestinal microecology

Abstract

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a common human bacterial pathogenh that infects more than 50% of the global natural population. In the absence of proper treatment, H. pylori will persist. H. pylori infection leads to changes in gastrointestinal flora, which is associated with a variety of gastrointestinal and extra-gastrointestinal diseases. In recent years, intestinal microecology has become a research hotspot, and the relationship between H. pylori infection and intestinal microecology has gradually attracted researchers’ attention. H. pylori eradication leads to short-term changes in intestinal flora, but its long-term effects are unclear. The use of probiotics may have a positive impact on H. pylori eradication.
