| Core Tip |
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has characteristics of family cluster infection. However, few studies have investigated family-based infection status and pattern of intrafamilial transmission in the general public of central China. In our study, the H. pylori infection rate was 54.27%, but in 87.23% of healthy households, there was at least 1 H. pylori-infected person; in 27.24% of these infected families, all members were infected. Type I H. pylori was the dominant strain in this area. Intrafamilial infection status and patterns of transmission are important causes of H. pylori spread, indicating the urgent need for family-based infection control and related disease prevention. |
