BACKGROUND: Probiotics are beneficial to patients with Helicobacter pylori infections by modulating the gut microbiota. Biofermin-R (BFR) is a multiple antibiotic-resistant lactic acid bacteria preparation of Enterococcus faecium 129 BIO 3B-R and is effective in normalizing the gut microbiota when used in combination with antibiotics. This study aimed to determine the effect of BFR in combination with vonoprazan (VPZ)-based therapy on gut microbiota. METHODS: Patients with positive urinary anti-H pylori antibody test (primary test) and fecal H pylori antigen test (secondary test) were examined. Patients in group 1 (BFR- ) received VPZ (20 mg twice daily), amoxicillin (750 mg twice daily), and clarithromycin (400 mg twice daily) for 7 days. Patients in group 2 (BFR+ ) received BFR (3 tablets/day) for 7 days, in addition to the aforementioned treatments. Following treatment, the relative abundance, α-diversity, and ß-diversity of gut microbiota were assessed. RESULTS: Supplementation with BFR prevented the decrease in a-diversity after eradication therapy (Day 7). ß-diversity was similar between groups. The incidence rate of diarrhea was non-significantly higher in the BFR- than in the BFR+ group (73.1% vs 56.5%; P = .361). Stool consistency was comparable in the BFR+ group on Days 7 and 1 (3.86 ± 0.95 vs 3.86 ± 1.46; P = .415). CONCLUSION: Biofermin-R combined with VPZ-based therapy resulted in higher microbial α-strain diversity and suppressed stool softening during H pylori eradication therapy.
