Helicobacter and Campylobacter species associated with IBD

Professor Hazel Mitchell and colleagues conducted a comprehensive global systematic review and meta-analysis on the association between Helicobacter pylori infection and IBD. As bacterial antigen cross-reactivity has been postulated to be involved in this association, published data on enterohepatic Helicobacter spp, and Campylobacter spp and IBD was also analyzed.
