| Summary: | <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> (<i>H. pylori</i>) infection affects more than half of the world's population, and thus, about 10 to 20% of people with <i>H. pylori</i> suffer from peptic ulcers, which may ultimately lead to gastric cancer. The increase in antibiotic resistance and susceptibility has encouraged the search for new alternative therapies to eradicate this pathogen. Several plant species are essential sources of polyphenols, and these bioactive compounds have demonstrated health-promoting properties, such as the gut microbiota stimulation, inflammation reduction, and bactericidal effect. Therefore, this review aims to discuss the potential effect of plant-based polyphenols against <i>H. pylori</i> and their role in the gut microbiota improvement. |
