EVIDENCE BASE OF LACTOBACILLUS REUTERI EFFICACY IN THE TREATMENT OF DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH HELICOBACTER PYLORI.

Helicobocterpylori (HP) - the human infection that persists for a long time in the stomach and can cause chronic gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcer, MALT-lymphoma, gastric adenocarcinoma. There is a well-adapted niche-specific microbial community in the stomach represented by Lactobocillus, Streptococcus ahd other bacteria. Use of probiotics is considered to be an alternative or supplement to eradication therapy Among the Lactobacillus the most promising is Loctobocillus reutert who are able to have the anti-HP activity L. reureri produces powerful antimicrobial compounds such as reuterin, reuteritsin 6, reutetsiklin and metabolites that inhibit the growth of I-/P (volatile fatty acids, lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, etc.). These compounds could reduce the adhesion of HP to gastric epithelial cells, inhibit growth HP, which leads to a significant reduction in the degree of contamination of HP and the severity of gastric mucosal inflammation. The data on the effectiveness of L. re uteri as monotherapy in patients with HP without absolute indications for eradication, and as an additional component, which increase the effectiveness of eradication are presented.
