​Management of Helicobacter Pylori – An Update

18 August 2022

Chronic Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) infection has been linked to the development of peptic ulcer disease, MALT lymphoma and Gastric cancer.  H. pylori resistance rates to antibiotics are increasing in most parts of the world with the efficacy of traditional triple therapy in the form of Amoxicillin, Clarithryomycin and proton pump inhibitors dipping to <80% in some regions. The success of eradication of H. pylori rests on the twin arms of antibiotic susceptibility and acid suppression. In this update, we review new treatment paradigms and discuss the role of Vonoprazan (Potassium-Competitive Acid Blocker) in the management of H. pylori.

After the lecture, the participants will be able to gain an understanding on:

• The different antimicrobial treatment regimens for H. pylori
• Factors predicting successful eradication of H. pylori
• Local H. pylori resistance epidemiological data in Singapore
• Potassium Competitive Acid Blockers and their role in the treatment of H. pylori
