Helicobacter pylori promotes intestinal flora imbalance and hepatic metabolic disorders under arsenic stress by Linmin Zhong, Qiling Yang, Yiming Shao, Shanwen Hu, Lianxian Guo

“…Therefore, this study aims to investigate the combined effects and underlying pathogenic mechanisms of concurrent exposure to these two hazardous factors by establishing a mouse model that is infected with H. pylori and exposed to inorganic arsenic through drinking water. Analysis of intestinal flora revealed significant alterations in the composition, relative abundance (Akkermansia, Faecalibaculum, Ilieibacterium, etc.), and metabolic potential of the intestinal microflora (amino acid metabolism and energy metabolism) in the combinatory exposure group. …”
