“…[5][6][7][8][9][10] Invasive and non-invasive tests have been proposed based on different properties and pathogenic behaviors of HP. [5][6][7][8][9][10] These tests have different factors that determine its suitability for use as HP diagnosis. 11 These factors can range from the host clinical status, cost, safety as well as sample preparation.…”

Helicobacter Pylori (HP) bacteria is considered a very dangerous pathogen with about half the earth population are host. It infects the human gastrointestinal tract causing permanent damages that may lead to cancer. The exact routes of Helicobacter pylori infection transmission is still not fully investigated. Thus, the in-vitro detection of HP is very important in monitoring infections at its early stages and in contaminated mediums like food and water. Literature reports several techniques and approaches to detect HP in-vitro, but mostly with the cost of complex instruments, excessive sample processing and time consuming test methods making them not suitable for affordable routine procedure. This paper contributes in briefly reviewing the few recent detection methods of HP in-vitro. Experience of authors in HP in-vitro detection is presented. The influence of the detection method on sensitivity, selectivity and on compatibility with point-of-care devices is overviewed. Major types of sensors based on antigen-antibody interaction or DNA hybridization are discussed.

“…52 Gastric infections are still of great concern in gastroenterology, and particularly, oncology, owing to the association of Gram-negative bacteria Helicobacter pylori. This bacterium forms biofilm in order to ensure its integrity and survival 53 and is frequently involved in chronic gastritis, functional dyspepsia, peptic or duodenal ulcer, and gastric cancer or lymphomas. Further, H. pylori also displays a survival profile in acidic environments; it remains intact in the stomach environment and promotes the destruction of the gastric mucosa making the organ sensitive and vulnerable to ulcerative lesions.…”

Since the dawn of civilization, it has been understood that pathogenic microorganisms cause infectious conditions in humans, which at times, may prove fatal. Among the different virulent properties of microorganisms is their ability to form biofilms, which has been directly related to the development of chronic infections with increased disease severity. A problem in the elimination of such complex structures (biofilms) is resistance to the drugs that are currently used in clinical practice, and therefore, it becomes imperative to search for new compounds that have anti-biofilm activity. In this context, nanotechnology provides secure platforms for targeted delivery of drugs to treat numerous microbial infections that are caused by biofilms. Among the many applications of such nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems is their ability to enhance the bioactive potential of therapeutic agents. The present study reports the use of important nanoparticles, such as liposomes, microemulsions, cyclodextrins, solid lipid nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, and metallic nanoparticles, in controlling microbial biofilms by targeted drug delivery. Such utilization of these nanosystems has led to a better understanding of their applications and their role in combating biofilms.
