Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The first edition of the Special Issue, entitled “Helicobacter pylori Virulence Factors and Antibiotic Susceptibility”, was published in 2020. It was a successful collection comprising nine excellent papers. This encouraged us to launch a second edition on the same topic.
As a continuation of the first Special Issue, this second edition focuses on state-of-the-art research regarding H. pylori virulence factors together with their effect on gastric tissue and correlation with several symptoms related to H. pylori infection and the relationship with oral/gastric microbiome and chemo-susceptibility. The aim is to better understand the complex relationship between virulence and antibiotic resistance, as well as to investigate the persistent phenotypical forms of H. pylori strains and a possible correlation with virulence factors.
The results of this research may help to develop therapeutical strategies with new combinations of anti-virulence strategies that will allow us to provide more specific and directed drug treatments.
