Analysis of PCR-RAPD DNA and antibiotic susceptibility profiles of antrum and corpus isolates of Helicobacter pylori from Malaysian patients.
This study was conducted to determine whether there was any genetic heterogeneity among Helicobacter pylori strains isolated from the antrum and corpus of the same individual in a Malaysian population and to determine the presence of heterogeneous susceptibility of the isolates by comparing PCR-RAPD and antibiotic profiles. Forty-four H. pylori isolates cultured from the antrum and corpus of 22...
متن کاملHelicobacter pylori: prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility among Kenyans.
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori infection in Kenya is staggeringly high. Evidence links infection of the gastric mucosa by H. pylori with subsequent development of gastric pathologies. AIM We investigated the prevalence of H. pylori in dyspeptic patients, its relationship with gastric pathologies, and associated antibiotic susceptibility profiles, and compared two media to find the appropriate...
متن کاملAntibiotic susceptibility of attached and free-floating Helicobacter pylori.
Helicobacter pylori are found attached to mucous cells of the human stomach or under the mucous layer. Models mimicking the in vivo situation may be more suitable for H. pylori MIC determinations than traditional agar dilution methods. Megraud et al. (Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy 1991, 35, 869-72) developed a model for measuring the susceptibility of attached and free-floating H. pylor...
متن کاملAntibiotic susceptibility of Helicobacter pylori isolates in Dakar, Senegal.
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori is the primary cause of peptic ulcer disease and an etiologic agent in the development of gastric cancer. A high frequency of H. pylori infection has been reported from resource-poor regions. H. pylori infection is curable with regimens of multiple antimicrobial agents. However, antibiotic resistance is a leading cause of treatment failure. In Africa, there are ve...
متن کاملCan bacterial virulence factors predict antibiotic resistant Helicobacter pylori infection?
AIM To evaluate the association between virulence factor status and antibiotic resistance in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-infected patients in Ireland. METHODS DNA was extracted from antral and corpus biopsies obtained from 165 H. pylori-infected patients. Genotyping for clarithromycin and fluoroquinolone-mediating mutations was performed using the Genotype HelicoDR assay. cagA and vacA ge...
