Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to submit research articles to the upcoming Special Issue of IJMS, entitled “Molecular Advances in Helicobacter pylori Infections and Treatments”.
The range of H. pylori-associated diseases is wide and is determined by the interaction of three main factors: the microbe, host organism, and the environment.
The aims of this issue includes the development and implementation of highly valid diagnostic tests for H. pylori infection, molecular genetic research into the infect’s properties, study of the clue mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis, modulation of stomach microbiota, prognostic factors of outcomes, progress in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori-associated diseases, and assessment the gastric mucosa repair after eradication. This is a far from exhaustive account of the questions under active consideration by scientists and clinicians in the world. The Maastricht VI/Florence Consensus Report was published in 2022 and outlined research challenges for the next five years: the mission of the global prevention of gastric cancer; a need better to understand and control antibiotic resistance, which continues to grow dramatically; the aim to improve potential treatments/combinations, including achieving optimal supression of acidity.
In this context, it is extremely important to accumulate innovative ideas and experience, to study regional peculiarities and to combine efforts in solving global research tasks.
This Special Issue will focus on the latest advances in innovative diagnostics and treatments for H. pylori.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Molecular advances of the diseases when encountered in the pathogen of H. pylori;
- New strategies against H. pylori biofilm formation;
- New synergic natural compounds/antibiotic association in H. pylori treatment;
- Epidemiological aspects of H. pylori infection and diseases associated with H. pylori;
- Mechanisms of development of H. pylori-associated diseases;
- The course of diseases after H. pylori eradication therapy;
- H. pylori prevention.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
