        | Core Tip | 
        This expert consensus comprises comprehensive guidelines for the management of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in the Middle East, addressing its diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, with a focus on antibiotic resistance and gut microbiota interactions. Given the rising clarithromycin and fluoroquinolone resistance, this report emphasizes the importance of antibiotic stewardship, routine susceptibility testing, and optimized first-line and rescue therapies. Incorporating regional epidemiological data, this consensus aligns with the recommendations of the Maastricht VI/Florence consensus and proposes tailored strategies to enhance eradication success and reduce the risk of gastric cancer, thereby improving the clinical outcomes and management of H. pylori infection. |
