The explosion of new information on
-related disease, both in the basic sciences and in clinical medicine, has continued to progress at an unprecedented pace. In many instances
infection, both in man and in the laboratory animal, has become a model to investigate fundamental biological issues such as micro-organism host interactions, intracellular signaling, development of mucosal atrophy, mechanism of microbial resistance, disease modifying factors etc.
In view of this bewildering flood of new information, another meeting on
in the successful series 'Basic mechanisms to clinical cure' was organized in January 1998 in San Diego, California, to define the 'state-of-affairs' in
research at this time. The main objective was to integrate this new information in a series of top-quality presentations and discussions between investigators and clinicians addressing all aspects of
research and to review the current position and future research directions. The format included state-of-the-art presentations by world experts heavily involved in
research followed by in-depth discussion on intriguing or controversial issues. The presentations were grouped according to the leading theme: characteristics of the organism, mode of transmission, mechanisms of
-induced inflammation, causation of disturbances of gastric secretory and motor function, aspects of clinical presentation and management, problems related to
-associated gastric adenocarcinoma and MALT-lymphoma, novel aspects of antimicrobial therapy and vaccination. The meeting concluded with a synoptic agenda of suggested future studies for the microbiologist, the histopathologist and the clinician.
The chapters published in these proceedings accurately reflect the content of the superb presentations. The reader will readily appreciate the excellent level of the 'cutting-edge' research which was described and discussed. These proceedings are another testimony to the enormous impact on basic science and clinical medicine of the
discovery. Although much was achieved, it is also readily apparent that many questions remain to be answered and many problems remain to be solved.
