Helicobacter is edited by Professor David Y Graham. The editorial and peer review process is an independent process. Whenever there is a conflict of interest, the editor and editorial board will declare their interests and affiliations. Helicobacter recognises the critical role that has been established for Helicobacter pylori in peptic ulcer, gastric adenocarcinoma, and primary gastric lymphoma. As new helicobacter species are now regularly being discovered, Helicobacter covers the entire range of helicobacter research, increasing communication among the fields of
• gastroenterology
• microbiology
• vaccine development
• laboratory animal science.

New discoveries in molecular biology and clinical trials of new treatment open up a wide range of possibilities for patient care and cure — Helicobacter will be there to report the results.
