Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Optimal strategies for *Helicobacter pylori* eradication are still under investigation.
  • This review focuses on current treatment approaches for *H. pylori* infection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the latest treatment strategies for eradicating *H. pylori* infection.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review conducted by the author.

Main Results:

  • Successful *H. pylori* eradication necessitates combination therapy: acid secretion control (proton-pump inhibitors or H2 antagonists) plus two antibiotics (e.g., metronidazole, amoxicillin, clarithromycin).
  • Ranitidine bismuth citrate combined with clarithromycin demonstrates high eradication rates, with potential for adding a second antibiotic in future regimens.

Conclusions:

  • Modern combination therapies achieve an 80-95% eradication rate for *H. pylori* in patients who adhere to treatment.
