Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative bacterium that can cause gastrointestinal disorders such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, and gastric cancer if a person is infected with H. pylori, which can have a huge impact on people’s health.
In terms of treatment we can kill this microorganism in several ways: first of all, if the patient is diagnosed with H. pylori, then it must be treated in a timely manner, and clinically it is usually done in a triple or quadruple therapy, which means taking a PPI ➕ bismuth with two types of antibiotics. For example, patients can be given oral omeprazole along with bismuth potassium acid, amoxicillin capsules, and clarithromycin. This combination therapy can effectively kill H. pylori and also repair the gastric mucosa and reduce the patient’s symptoms;
Secondly, H. pylori is also a contagious germ that should be prevented in daily life, for example, by paying attention to clean food, using a meal system, not sharing dishes, and boiling dishes for about 10 minutes every day, which effectively kills most of the H. pylori.
