dc.description.abstractProbiotics are live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit to the host. Probiotics are not part of the current treatment therapies prescribed for Helicobacter pylori eradication, but there are numerous studies, most of them using probiotics as adjuvants to therapy, showing a reduction of side effects in the greater majority of cases. The probiotics administered vary hugely in the composition of microorganisms used, as well as the duration and mode of administration, which renders the comparison difficult. However, the most used probiotics for H. pylori infection are composed of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Saccharomyces, and Streptococcus. The mode of action of these probiotics relies on competition for nutrients and for adhesion to cell receptors, antimicrobial activity, and modulation of the immune system and microbiota.pt_PT
