Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a Gram-negative, spiral-shaped bacterium that colonizes the gastric epithelium and associated with range of gastrointestinal disorders, exhibiting global prevalence approximately 50%. Despite availability treatment options, H. frequently reemerges demonstrates increasing antibiotic resistance, which diminishes efficacy conventional therapies. Consequently, it imperative to explore non-antibiotic alternatives mitigate inappropriate use antibiotics. This review examines infection, encompassing transmission pathways, modalities, eradication strategies. Additionally, discusses alternative therapeutic approaches such as probiotics, anti-biofilm agents, phytotherapy, phototherapy, phage therapy, lactoferrin vaccine development. These strategies aim reduce antimicrobial resistance enhance outcomes for infections. While therapies can maintain low bacterial levels, they do not achieve complete pylori. are designed bolster immune response, minimize side effects, provide gastroprotective benefits, rendering them suitable adjunctive alongside treatments. Probiotics may serve therapy pylori; however, their effectiveness monotherapy limited. Photodynamic exhibit potential in targeting infections, including those caused by drug-resistant strains, without The development reliable also critical identifies candidate antigens VacA, CagA, HspA, along various formulations, vector-based subunit vaccines. Some vaccines have demonstrated clinical trials, while others shown robust protection preclinical studies. Nevertheless, each aforementioned requires thorough evaluation ascertain efficacy, cost-effectiveness, patient compliance.
