Helicobacter pylori: an invading microorganism? A review

Broccoli and Helicobacter Pylori: A Systematic Review

Objective Pharmacological treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is based on the use of at least two antibiotics with a double dose of proton pump inhibitor which results in antibiotic resistance. Anti-helicobacterial activity of sulforaphane-rich broccoli has been evaluated in laboratory studies. This study aimed to systematically review the conducted randomized clinical trials...

Helicobacter Pylori infection: A review

INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) a spiral-shaped, Gram negative bacterium found on the luminal surface of the gastric epithelium, was first isolated in 1983 (1). H. pylori infection is the most common chronic human bacterial infection (2). Its prevalence increases with lower socioeconomic class and older age, so its geographic distribution is markedly variable (3). H. pylori infects...

Undernutrition can affect the invading microorganism.

Undernutrition or malnutrition adversely affects host defenses against many invading microorganisms, thereby increasing the severity of infection. Studies of RNA viruses (e.g., coxsackievirus B and influenzavirus) have shown that selenium or vitamin E deficiency in mice increases disease severity and results in stable genomic changes in the virus that increase virulence. Changes in H3N2 influen...

Virulence Factors of Helicobacter pylori: A Review

Helicobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped Gram-negative bacterium that colonizes the human stomach and can establish a long-term infection of the gastric mucosa, a condition that affects the relative risk of developing various clinical disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract, such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, and gastric adeno...
