  • Introduction: Helicobacter pylori, often referred to as H. pylori, is a type of bacteria that infects the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine. The bacteria are known to cause various stomach-related issues, including gastritis and peptic ulcers, and have also been linked to an increased risk of stomach cancer. Understanding the mechanism of H. pylori infection is crucial in devising effective treatment strategies. Given the serious health implications associated with H. pylori infections, it is essential to comprehend the role of antibiotic treatment in eradicating this persistent pathogen. Antibiotic therapy plays a pivotal role in the eradication of H. pylori infections. Eradication of H. pylori is crucial in reducing the risk of recurrent peptic ulcers and lowering the chances of developing gastric cancer. Moreover, successful eradication of H. pylori can lead to long-term symptom relief for individuals suffering from gastritis and peptic ulcers. It is important to note that antibiotic treatment for H. pylori eradication should be administered under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
  • Methods: None (Review article)
  • Results: While antibiotic therapy is instrumental in eradicating H. pylori infections, it is important to be mindful of the potential side effects and considerations associated with these medications. Common side effects of antibiotics used in H. pylori eradication therapy include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort.
  • Conclusion: The selection of antibiotics, consideration of antibiotic resistance, and implementation of combination therapy and alternative antibiotic strategies are pivotal in achieving successful H. pylori eradication. Looking ahead, ongoing research and clinical efforts are focused on advancing our understanding of H. pylori infections and optimizing antibiotic strategies for eradication.
