I read the study by Akcam et al,1 and I have 2 comments on this interesting study. First, Akcam et al1 addressed that they found no evidence in terms of the eradication rate (ER) of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), or impact on adverse effects obtained after the addition of probiotics to the standard triple treatment (STT). Their observation could be confidently added to the conflicting results...

Measuring the viability of probiotic microorganisms in food products using plate count methodology is a common practice due to the simplicity (ease of performance), inexpensive and routine testing characters ofthis method.
