dc.description.abstractGastric or duodenal ulcers can lead to upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is one of the most common infections in the world and can cause both gastric ulcers and gastric cancer. The treatment aims to eradicate H. pylori and treatment with antibiotics has made it possible to cure gastric ulcers. The most common complication of untreated peptic ulcer disease is bleeding (hematemesis, melena, and anemia), while perforation occurs in a smaller proportion of patients. In some individuals, the infection causes mucosal changes with increasing age that lead to atrophy and intestinal metaplasia. It is believed that atrophy and especially intestinal metaplasia are a prerequisite for the most common form of gastric cancer, adenocarcinoma. There is presently a demand for an alternate treatment devoid of the current strategies drawbacks including recurrence, resistance and antibiotic abuse. The current workhighlights the possibility of bee product-based treatments for preventing and eliminating H. pylori infestation. Sci-finder, Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Scopus were used for literature screening. Terms and keywords, i.e. helicobacter pylori, epidemiology, chemotherapy, honey, propolis, bee venom, bioactive compounds, and mechanism of action were used in the search. Bee products are important alternatives that have been utilized for treating many ailments due to their diverse biochemical and biological characteristics. Various mechanisms, such as direct antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing capacities, are proposed to explain the potential effect of bee products against H. pylori. The bee product's metabolites have a role in the adherence of H. pylori to stomach epithelial cells. The disruption of bacterial cell membranes and the inhibition of virulence factors are the two mechanisms behind the bee product's promising therapeutic applications against H. pylori.
