The () cytotoxin-associated gene pathogenicity island (PAI) encodes 31 genes that assemble the type IV secretion system (T4SS) apparatus, which includes structures such as the outer membrane core complex, periplasmic ring, inner membrane complex and bacterial hairs. These proteins interact with each other to inject CagA into the host gastric epithelium. There are also individual unique functions that help interfere with host cellular pathways, modulate the immune response and colonize the host for a long time.

Patients And Methods: -positive patients visiting the outpatient department of multiple hospitals were enrolled in the study. Then, gastric mucosal biopsy specimens were collected for isolation, culture, and investigation of the resistance rate of to amoxicillin, metronidazole, tetracycline, levofloxacin, and clarithromycin by Epsilometer test (E-test) antibiotic susceptibility testing.
Aims: We aimed to assess the eradication efficacy and factors that influencing it of high-dose dual therapy (HDDT) in Gansu region, Northwest China.
Methods: A total of 216 treatment-naive patients with Helicobacter pylori infection were randomly assigned to two groups for the 14-day eradication treatment: the HDDT group (amoxicillin 750 mg q.i.

Introduction: More attention has been paid to the eradication therapy of with the enhancement of health awareness of patients. However, the increasing antibiotic resistance of , due to the wide use and abuse of antibiotics, has become a critical factor affecting the efficacy of eradication. To effectively improve the eradication rate of , high-dose amoxicillin-proton pump inhibitor (PPI) dual therapy has recently become one of the hot issues.
