Core Tip	The Maastricht Ⅳ consensus, which focused on the management of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, set important new strategies in terms of treatment approaches, particularly with regards to first- and second-line treatment protocols and led to improved knowledge and understanding of H. pylori resistance to antibiotics. In recent years, various fluoroquinolone-based protocols, mainly including levofloxacin, have been proposed and effectively tested at all therapeutic lines for H. pylori eradication. The aim of the present invited paper is to review the scientific literature focused on the use of fluoroquinolones in eradicating H. pylori.
