The eradication of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> restores rather than disturbs the gastrointestinal microbiota in asymptomatic young adults

Abstract

Bismuth quadruple therapy for H pylori eradication can restore the diversity of gastric microbiota with enrichment of beneficial bacteria. The composition of gut microbiota after H pylori eradication trends toward healthy status instead of becoming dysbiotic.
