Research progress in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection
Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori),as a common pathogenic bacterium,has infected more than half of the world's population,and is closely related to many diseases such as gastritis,peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer.With the increasing problem of H.pylori's drug resistance,traditional antimicrobial drug combi-nation therapies face a great risk of declining eradication rate.Therefore,it is urgent to optimize the existing treatment options and find new eradication strategies.Presently,the research on the treatment of H.pylori infection has been extended to functional probiotics,nanomedicine,phototherapy,integrated traditional Chi-nese and western medicine,and antimicrobial peptide.The purpose of this paper was to provide an overview of the newly developed anti-H.pylori therapies in recent years and provide insights into alternative treatments for H.pylori eradication.
