This ‘Helicobacter pylori Infection - Epidemiology Forecast-2032' report delivers an in-depth understanding of the Helicobacter pylori Infection, historical and forecasted epidemiology as well as the Helicobacter pylori Infection trends in the United States, the EU-5 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom) and Japan.
Usually acquired during childhood, it is one of the most common chronic bacterial infections globally. Most infected individuals with it remain asymptomatic for a very long duration. Patients harboring the bacteria usually have symptoms, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and the development of dyspepsia when the disease progresses to gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. Most of these are synonymous with other gastric conditions.
It is the strongest known risk factor for non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma and is usually associated with chronic gastritis, the development of preneoplastic lesions, or peptic ulcer disease.
The infection is usually transmitted by the fecal-oral, gastric-oral, oral-oral, or sexual routes, and its prevalence varies widely with geography. Generally, the prevalence is higher in developing and resource-poor countries than in developed countries and is usually impacted by climatic conditions, host-microbe interaction, genetics, GI microbiota, or medication.
Several studies have validated that H. pylori is also present in the dental plaque and saliva of infected individuals, and therefore the H. pylori infection spreads at a much higher rate than expected and, especially, transmission between family members is frequent.
The non-invasive methods, that determine eradication rates are based on the presence of bacterial enzymes, antigens, antibodies, or DNA sequences and include 13C or 14C UBT, SAT, serology, etc. While the invasive methods include endoscopy and gastric biopsy followed by RUT, histology, culture, or a PCR that are clinically significant.
UBT is regarded as a gold standard non-invasive method for H. pylori diagnosis with high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. It has been used for about 30 years and is still the most popular and common noninvasive test that indirectly measures the activity of bacterial urease produced by H. pylori in the stomach. The test exploits the hydrolysis of orally administered urea by H. pylori. While SAT is a direct test for initial infection and is based on the detection of H. pylori antigens in the stool.
Serology tests for H. pylori detect antibodies against H. pylori by ELISA, immunoblotting, and EIA. Although more tests for IgA, IgG, and IgM antibodies are performed, only the IgG antibody test is reliable.
Invasive tests include endoscopy and gastric biopsy followed by either RUT, histology or culture, or molecular methods on biopsy samples. Each invasive test offers a specific clinical advantage, and RUT is the quickest test that provides an opportunity to start the treatment immediately. The histological examination provides a comprehensive assessment of gastric mucosa and thus helps in short-term and long-term management strategies.
Helicobacter pylori Infection Disease Understanding
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a spiral-shaped, flagellated gram-negative bacterium colonizing the human stomach. It usually infects the stomach and small intestine. It is designated as a Class I carcinogen by WHO and is a Qualifying Pathogen under the US FDA GAIN Act.Usually acquired during childhood, it is one of the most common chronic bacterial infections globally. Most infected individuals with it remain asymptomatic for a very long duration. Patients harboring the bacteria usually have symptoms, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and the development of dyspepsia when the disease progresses to gastritis and peptic ulcer disease.

Helicobacter pylori Infection Diagnosis
There is no single accurate diagnostic tool or method and the current diagnosis regime is usually a combination of both invasive and non-invasive methods.The non-invasive methods, that determine eradication rates are based on the presence of bacterial enzymes, antigens, antibodies, or DNA sequences and include 13C or 14C UBT, SAT, serology, etc. While the invasive methods include endoscopy and gastric biopsy followed by RUT, histology, culture, or a PCR that are clinically significant.
