Functional pathway analysis revealed that the metabolic characteristics of the flora changed in the HIG, with site\u2010specific differences. Fecal specimens demonstrated no significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups. In addition, feces\u2010based metagenomic analysis revealed that only eukaryotes had higher diversity in the HIG, whereas viruses and archaea showed no significant changes; the Shannon index of ARG increased; and VF showed no significant change.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study revealed that <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"><jats:italic>H. pylori<\/jats:italic><\/jats:styled-content> infection significantly influenced the diversity, composition, and metabolic functional pathway of bacteria in different parts of the digestive tract and the gastric juice.
