BACKGROUND
Helicobacter pylori biofilm formation is a key factor of refractory helicobacter pylori infection.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to comprehend the research trends in helicobacter pylori biofilms.The aim of this study was to comprehend the research trends in helicobacter pylori biofilms.
METHODS
Web of Science Core Collection database was used to retrieve publications from 1998 to 2022. Different kinds of software, EXCEL, online bibliometric analysis platform and the VOS viewer were used to evaluate and visualize the bibliometric data.
RESULTS
There were 154 publications identified in total, and the number of publications increased annually. The China made the greatest contributions to this research field, while the journal of Helicobacter was the most productive journal. Grande rossella published the most papers, and the most productive institution was G dannunzio University. Co-occurrence network maps revealed that the keyword of “Helicobacter pylori” ranked first in research field, and the keyword of “biofilm formation” and “in vitro” began to appear in the past 3 to 5 years.
CONCLUSIONS
The annual number of publications on helicobacter pylori biofilm have grown steadily in the past two decades and will continue to grow. Future research hot spots will domain in the establishment of helicobacter pylori biofilm in vitro model and mechanism of helicobacter pylori biofilm formation.
