What does the saliva method for testing Helicobacter pylori mean

What is Helicobacter pylori? I believe that apart from professional medical staff or students and practitioners in related majors, few people can understand the significance and harm of Helicobacter pylori. Similarly, people are even less clear about how to identify Helicobacter pylori! Someone asked, is the saliva method useful for detecting Helicobacter pylori? Let's look at the experts' opinions.

Helicobacter pylori saliva detection kit (colloidal gold method) (abbreviated as HPS). Helicobacter pylori (HP for short) can exist in the human mouth and stomach and cause stomach diseases. Clinical trials have shown that detecting the source of Helicobacter pylori (oral cavity) can supplement the blind spot (oral cavity) of other HP testing products. HPS, with its simple operation, simple sampling method, and simple result observation, can very effectively detect Helicobacter pylori infection in the oral cavity, provide effective treatment basis for clinical diagnosis, and effectively prevent the recurrence of HP, thereby greatly reducing the reinfection or high incidence of HP. It is easy for patients to accept and is suitable for testing people of all ages, especially the elderly, pregnant women, and children. At the same time, it does not pollute the environment, does not require any instruments or equipment, and has rapid detection, making it suitable for clinical, family, and large-scale population surveys.

Only 4 drops of saliva need to be collected for testing, and there are no toxic side effects.

This method is suitable for testing people of all ages, especially the elderly, pregnant women and children. The sensitivity for oral Helicobacter pylori is 96% and the specificity is 97-100%. If combined with gastric Helicobacter pylori testing, joint diagnosis and treatment are performed, Helicobacter pylori can be eradicated from the human body. Literature reports that removing supragingival and subgingival plaque through periodontal treatment can effectively destroy the subgingival biofilm structure, thereby completely and effectively removing HP in the stomach and oral cavity and reducing the chance of HP reinfection. Thereby greatly reducing the reinfection or high incidence of HP.

The above is what we introduced to you today about the significance and method of saliva method for detecting Helicobacter pylori. Friends who are interested may wish to continue to explore related knowledge and issues in depth. However, we recommend that non-professionals do not come into contact with Helicobacter pylori, and do not rashly try the saliva method to detect Helicobacter pylori.
