Core Tip	This article discusses the role of Helicobacter pylori in cholelithiasis and bilirubin metab-olism, highlighting a study by Yao et al that suggests an association between Helicobacter pylori infection and gallstones. While the study provides evidence for this link, it notes that the relationship may vary across populations due to factors like strain differences and geographic prevalence. The article also explores the potential role of proton pump inhibitors in increasing cholelithiasis risk and emphasizes the need for further research into the microbiota’s involvement in gallstone pathogenesis.
