The goal of this work was to provide evidence for the inhibitory effects of fresh hops on the growth of Helicobacter pylori. Fresh hops were homogenised after harvest and the homogenate was treated using pascalisation (treatment with high pressure). This homogenate was used for testing the growth inhibitory effects on strains of H. pylori, a pathogenic microorganism, isolated from patients suffering from gastritis or gastric ulcers. The tests demonstrated reliable inhibitory effects and open the possibility of hops being used as a supplement to the treatment of H. pylori infections.

Keywords: hops homogenate; H. pylori; antimicrobial effect
