Helicobacter pylori in Human Diseases

Zusatztext

<p>This book gathers a wealth of contributions on the virulence factors and pathogenic mechanism of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i>, prepared by leading international experts. In addition, it explores the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment with drugs and probiotics, and prophylaxis by vaccination, reflecting the latest advances. </p><p><i>H. pylori</i> is a Gram negative microaerophilic bacterium that can produce various gastric diseases including gastritis, gastroduodenal ulceration, gastric cancer and gastric MALT lymphoma. Although efforts to combat<i>H. pylori</i> using a combination of proton pump inhibitor and several antimicrobial drugs have significantly decreased the burden of these gastric diseases, the microbial epidemiology and gastric pathogenesis following <i>H. pylori</i> infection are still not fully understood.</p><p>Given its scope, the book offers a valuable resource not only for basic microbiologists, but also for researchers in the fields of pathology, biochemistry and genomics, as well as medical students/scientists. <br></p><br>
