Helicobacter Pylori

Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) is a gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium that colonizes the human stomach and is a major cause of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. While many infected individuals remain asymptomatic, persistent infection can lead to progressive gastric mucosal inflammation and symptoms such as epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, and dyspepsia, as well as an increased risk of complications including ulceration and malignancy. This continuing education activity reviews the current evidence-based approaches to the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of H pylori infection, with particular emphasis on appropriate test selection, confirmation of eradication, and the impact of antibiotic resistance on treatment decisions. The course also highlights the critical role of interprofessional collaboration in optimizing patient outcomes through coordinated care, patient education, and adherence to guideline-directed therapy.
