Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the only microanaerobic bacterium that can survive in the strong acid environment of the stomach and is mainly transmitted through the oral-oral and fecal-oral routes. After infection, it can cause gastrointestinal symptoms and gastritis. In severe cases, it may even develop into gastric cancer. Currently, the detection and eradication of H. pylori is a hot topic in the prevention and control of digestive system tumors. Therefore, how to accurately diagnose H. pylori infection is a prerequisite for effective prevention and control of gastric cancer. Commonly used in vitro diagnostic (IVD) methods for H. pylori infection are divided into invasive and non-invasive.

Main Methods of IVD for Helicobacter pylori
Non-invasive Inspection
Urea breath test (UBT). The main principle is that HP can produce relatively specific urease, which can decompose urea to produce NH3 and CO2.
Stool antigen test (SAT)
Serological testing. These include the protein chip method, western blot (WB), rapid colloidal gold method, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetric method, etc.
Molecular Biology Technology
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR)
LAMP
Next-generation sequencing technology (NGS)
Invasive Examination
Endoscopy
Rapid urease test (RUT)
Bacterial culture
Histological sections and histochemical staining microscopy
