Description
Springer Helicobacter pylori 1st Editon 2016 HB by Nayoung Kim
This book presents thecurrent state of knowledge regarding the ability of Helicobacter pylori to colonize the gastrointestinal tract, theglobal epidemiology of H. pyloriinfection, transmission routes, the pathophysiology of H. pylori-related gastroduodenal and other diseases, diagnosis andtreatment methods, guidelines for eradication, antibiotic resistance, thereinfection rate after H. pylori eradication,and animal models of H. pylori orrelated Helicobacter infection. Theaim is to equip readers around the world with the understanding required inorder to implement effective methods of H.pylori eradication and to enhance clinical outcomes for patients. The textis clearly written and is complemented by many helpful illustrations. This bookwill be a great asset in clinical practice for all practitioners who areinvolved in caring for patients with H.pylori-related diseases or have an interest in the subject. It will also bea useful source of information for medical students and for intelligent laypeopleseeking information on H. pylori. Part 1.
