The anti‐ Helicobacter pylori effect of 22 micromycetes were studied against one standard strain and 11 clinical isolates of H. pylori . Penicillium ochlochloron and Penicillium funiculosum have been proven the most active fungi against this microorganism. Further bio‐guided chemical analysis of P. funiculosum afforded an active component identified as (+) 2,3,4‐trihydroxybutanamide.
