Scope and Limitations of Current Antibiotic Therapies against <i>Helicobacter pylori</i>: Reviewing Amoxicillin Gastroretentive Formulations by Roberto Grosso, M.-Violante de-Paz

“…A big portion of malignant neoplasms that develop inside the stomach are linked to an infection of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i>; in fact, this pathogen has already been categorized as a group 1 carcinogen by the World Health Organization (WHO). Still, the efficacy of current anti-<i>H. pylori</i> therapeutic approaches is insufficient and follows a worrying decreasing trend, mainly due to an exponential increase in resistance to key antibiotics. …”
