BackgroundHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori) biofilm formation is a key factor in refractory H. infection. The aim of this study was to understand research trends biofilms.MethodsThe Web Science Core Collection database used retrieve publications published from 1998 2023. Different kinds software, EXCEL, an online bibliometric analysis platform, and the VOS viewer were evaluate visualize data.ResultsIn total, 184 identified, number increased annually. USA made greatest contributions field, while Helicobacter most productive journal. Grande rossella papers, institution Gabriele D'Annunzio university. Co-occurrence network maps revealed that keyword "Helicobacter pylori" ranked first "biofilm formation" "in vitro" began appear past three five years. majority most-cited articles (60%) focused on mechanism formation.ConclusionThe annual biofilms has steadily over two decades will continue increase. Future studies should focus pharmacological effects, efficacy safety these anti-biofilm treatments animal models clinical trials.
