[Epidemiologic, pathologic, diagnostic and clinical features and therapy of Helicobacter pylori infection based on latest data].
Helicobacter pylori is one of the most common human microorganisms. The outcome of its acquisition is not predictable, nevertheless a great amount of knowledge has accumulated concerning the virulence factors of the bacteria and the diseases associated with the infection. In most cases, this indigenous bacterium of the human stomach does not cause serious illnesses and the consequences of the infection depend on host and environmental factors. A more comprehensive insight into bacterial pathogenic and immunogenic mechanisms and host immune response may result in a more reasonable, cost-effective therapy and disease prevention.
