The degree of gastric mucosal inflammation and its topographic distribution are key factors in the diversity of &lt;i&gt;H. pylori&lt;\/i&gt;-related complications. Here we summarize substantial evidence reported in the literature concerning the impact of &lt;i&gt;H. pylori&lt;\/i&gt; density on gastric inflammation, the development of severe complications, and its relation to &lt;i&gt;H. pylori&lt;\/i&gt; suppression therapy. Most studies demonstrate a significant correlation between &lt;i&gt;H. pylori&lt;\/i&gt; density and the grade of acute and chronic inflammation, taking into account the limitations of each method for density assessment. Overall, high bacterial loads are associated with increased acute mucosal damage and long-term changes in the gastric mucosa. The influence of &lt;i&gt;H. pylori&lt;\/i&gt; density reduction on the improvement of gastric mucosal changes was observed in studies using \u2018clearance\u2019 therapies. Mucosal agents provoke a significant, but not persistent, reduction in gastritis activity. Treatments suppressing the density and virulence of &lt;i&gt;H. pylori&lt;\/i&gt; could become strategies to prevent &lt;i&gt;H. pylori&lt;\/i&gt;-associated disease in the future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000333260","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,13]],"date-time":"2011-12-13T09:49:33Z","timestamp":1323769773000},"page":"592-599","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Bacterial
