Abstract
|
|
|
|
Helicobacter Pylori affects nearly half of the world’s population and is a major pathogen associated with prevalent gastrointestinal disorders, including peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. Various diagnostic methods are available to detect infection, and the choice of method depends on factors such as their accessibility, advantages and disadvantages and cost. New treatment options for eradicating H. pylori have emerged as a result of the decreased efficacy of standard triple therapy due to increasing antibiotic resistance. This work reviews the main diagnostic methods used to identify H. pylori infection and to confirm the eradication of infection. We also provide a comprehensive overview of current and emerging strategies for the treatment of H. pylori infection.
