Helicobacter pylori Infection and Related Diseases: Clinical Updates and Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a microaerophilic Gram-negative spiral bacterial pathogen that colonizes an estimated 50% of the world’s population, is a well-known cause of gastric cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer, the specialized cancer agency of the World Health Organization, called on countries with high gastric cancer burden to act to prevent the disease with H. pylori screening and treatment in 2014. Although a huge number of studies have provided rich evidence for the various fields, further research is needed to clarify the pathogenesis, interaction with host immune response, the role for the microbiome in the stomach of H. pylori, the appropriate strategies for the diagnosis, screening, eradication and prevention for developing cancer, effect of H. pylroi eradication therapy, and negative effect without H. pylori infection. The scope of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of recent advances in the field of H. pylori infection and related diseases. Therefore, researchers in the field of H. pylori infection are encouraged to submit an original article or review to this Special Issue (case reports and short reviews are not accepted).
