Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is an important global public health concern, causing conditions like gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcers, gastric lymphoma, distal gastric cancer and other gastric diseases. With the increasing prevalence of antibiotics resistance, the cure rate of antibiotics-based triple or quadruple therapy has declined to 80 % or less. Moreover, side effects still remain. Hence, alternative, more potent and safer anti-H. pylori medications are required. Numerous studies have indicated that natural products from medical plants are valuable repositories for the prevention of H. pylori infection with advantages in little side effects due to the co-evolution with biological systems for millions of years. In this review, we highlighted the anti-H. pylori activities and the responsive mechanism of edible and medical plants based on epidemiological, experimental, and clinical studies, providing the basis for future development of functional foods or drugs against H. pylori.
期刊介绍:
Microbial Pathogenesis publishes original contributions and reviews about the molecular and cellular mechanisms of infectious diseases. It covers microbiology, host-pathogen interaction and immunology related to infectious agents, including bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa. It also accepts papers in the field of clinical microbiology, with the exception of case reports.
Research Areas Include:
-Pathogenesis
-Virulence factors
-Host susceptibility or resistance
-Immune mechanisms
-Identification, cloning and sequencing of relevant genes
-Genetic studies
-Viruses, prokaryotic organisms and protozoa
-Microbiota
-Systems biology related to infectious diseases
-Targets for vaccine design (pre-clinical studies)
