Why does aspirin increase the susceptibility of Helicobacter pylori to antimicrobials?
Resent studies reported that aspirin inhibited the growth of H. pylori in a dose-dependent manner and significantly affected the activity of virulence factors of H. pylori . In addition, aspirin increased the susceptibility of H. pylori to antimicrlbials including metronidazole, clarithromyci...Helicobacter pylori can multiply in autophagic vesicles
Helicobacter pylori , a Gram-negative, flagellated, microaerophilic bacterium, can selectively colonize in the human stomach. Its infection is widespread throughout the world, and is present in about 50% of the global human population with 80% in developing countries and 20-50% in industrialized ...Gastric juice for diagnosis of H. pylori infection in patients on proton pump inhibitors
This study determined the efficiency of a gastric juice PCR test for the detection of H. pylori infection in patients receiving PPI therapy and compared it with histology and gastric biopsy PCR.

The Gram negative bacterium H pylori is involved in the pathogenesis of several gastrointestinal diseases, ultimately leading to gastric carcinoma. Adhesion of the bacteria to the gastric mucosa is an essential step for colonization and infection. It is therefore important to know factors that ...Helicobacter pylori inhibits intercellular communication of cultured gastric cells
The formation of a cancer is proven to be a multi-stage, multi-mechanism process by animal and human studies. As a definite carcinogen, the role of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) in the formation of gastric cancer has been unclear. An article to be published on November 7 in the World Journal of G...A low prevalence of H pylori in HIV-positive patients
Helicobacter pylori has been extensively studied and proven to be the main cause of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer in the HIV-negative population. Patients with chronic active gastritis have evidence of H pylori infection in over 90% of cases and in 70-100% of those with peptic ulcer disease. ...Helicobacter pylori effectively killed by Sodium nitrite
