PlumX metrics:

The significance of biofilm in pathogenesis of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections is poorly understood. Biofilm is thought to play a role in transmission of infection to humans, may influence the nature of inflammatory changes in the gastrointestinal tract, and may cause reinfection. In this study, the forms of life of H. pylori, biofilm formation in the environment and human gastrointestinal tract and its impact on the course of infection as well as difficulties in elimination of infections accompanied with biofilm are discussed.
