Review ‐ Helicobacter, inflammation, immunology and vaccines
Karen Robinson, Philippe Lehours
Abstract
Abstract Understanding the mechanisms involved in induction and regulation of the immune and inflammatory response to Helicobacter pylori is extremely important in determining disease outcomes. H pylori expresses a plethora of factors that influence the host response. Vaccines against H pylori are desperately needed for the prevention of gastric carcinogenesis, especially with the increasing trends in antimicrobial resistance. This review summarizes some important findings, published between 1 April 2019 and 31 March 2020, in the areas of H pylori‐ mediated inflammation, immunity and vaccines.
