Garlic can inhibit and resist Helicobacter pylori, but has no killing effect.
In medicine, experimenters have done research to inhibit Helicobacter pylori with allicin. Adding allicin in vitro culture can indeed inhibit the growth of Helicobacter pylori, but when Helicobacter pylori enters the body, the researchers conducted experiments by giving patients garlic powder, and found no decrease in the number of Helicobacter pylori.
Garlic contains very little allicin, so if you want to kill Helicobacter by eating garlic, you should eat a certain amount of garlic every day, which is harmful to your health. Don't think that taking garlic can kill Helicobacter pylori. Garlic has a certain inhibitory effect on Helicobacter pylori, but it is far from being able to kill Helicobacter pylori.
