Abstract

Background: Probiotics are used in combinations of H. pylori eradication regimens with variable results. Many strains tested had shown positive effects on side effect profiles. However, a clear effect on eradication rate is studied thoroughly. We aimed to investigate the beneficial effect of a synbiotic combination in clarithromycin-based triple eradication therapy.
