  "abstract": "The long-term impact of eradication therapy for Helicobacter pylori on the gut microbiota is a subject of significant interest. To evaluate the influence of the bismuth-based quadruple H. pylori eradication therapy supplemented with butyrate and inulin on functional alterations within the gut microbial community, metagenomic and metabolomic profiling were performed. Fecal samples were collected from 15 patients (aged 19-64 years) prior to the treatment, immediately after the treatment, and one month after the therapy. A significant decrease in the relative abundance of Actinobacteria, such as Bifidobacterium and Collinsella, was observed after the therapeutic intervention. In contrast, the levels of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii remained consistent, while Roseburia faecis levels exhibited a substantial decline, suggesting a disruption in key butyrate-producing bacteria. A moderate increase in the relative abundance of opportunistic Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroides was observed. A comprehensive analysis of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) levels in the feces of the patients revealed a decline in the butyric acid concentration in response to the therapy, followed by a return to baseline levels. However, the level of valeric acid declined, and there was no tendency for it to increase after a month-long course of therapy. It is important to note that these shifts persisted for a period of four weeks. Consequently, the H. pylori eradication therapy intervention promotes a persistent microbial reorganization, and the observed recovery is unlikely to be spontaneous and probably reflects the protective effect of butyrate and inulin supplementation. To confirm the conclusions, a larger sample size and longer-duration studies are required.",
