Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection remains a global public health issue, closely linked to peptic ulcer disease, gastric cancer, and MALT lymphoma. Although classic bismuth-containing quadruple therapy achieves high eradication rates, recurrence after treatment is still a significant concern. Recent evidence suggests that probiotics may support gastrointestinal homeostasis, modulate immune responses, and help prevent H. pylori reinfection. This study aimed to evaluate whether probiotic supplementation reduces H. pylori recurrence following classic quadruple therapy.
