چکیده

background and objective: helicobacter pylori has several strains with different degrees of virulence. the aim of this study was to detect two major important virulence factors, caga/vaca genotypes, and to determine correlations among different caga/vaca genotypes and histological features of chronic gastritis in iranian patients. methods: in this cross- sectional study, gastric biopsy was taken from 166 patients with non-ulcer dyspepsia. the specimens were processed for dna extraction and identificationof glmm gene. the vaca subtypes and caga gene were tested by pcr. histopathological features were recorded and graded according to updatedsydney system. results: 76.7% of the h. pylori strains were caga gene positive. the proportions of vaca gene subtypes s1, s2, m1 and m2 in the 78 strains isolated were 70.5%, 29.5%, 37.2% and 62.8%,  respectively. 83.3% of the vaca-positive strains had s1 allele. twenty-six strains (33.3%) were positive for both caga and m1 allele. positive caga status and vaca subtypes were not associated significantly with presence of neutrophil infiltration, intestinal metaplasia or h. pylori density. only vaca s1 was significantly associated with more severe inflammation (p=0.02).the dominant genotype of h. pylori was vaca+ s1/m2. caga gene positivity rate was not closely associated with severity of the disease. conclusion: h. pylori strains showing vaca s1 genotype were associated with more severe gastritis. these findings show that vaca genotyping may have clinical relevance in iran.

Association between Helicobacter pylori, cagA, and vacA Status and Clinical Presentation in Iranian Children

OBJECTIVE Seroprevalence of H. pylori infection in Iran exceeds 65% of pediatric population. In this study, we intended to find association between the virulence genes (cagA and vacA) and clinical presentations. METHODS H. pylori isolates were achieved from the gastric mucosa of children. In each case, the gastric biopsy specimens were cultured and the organisms identified. Detection of diffe...

vacA genotypes of Helicobacter pylori in relation to cagA status and clinical outcomes in Iranian populations.

Mosaicism in vacA alleles with two distinct families of vacA signal sequences (s1 and s2) and two distinct families of middle region alleles (m1 and m2) has been reported. Research suggests that the vacA s1 genotype is closely associated with duodenal ulcer disease and with high cytotoxin production. The aims of this study were to evaluate the role of vacA genotyping with respect to gastric inf...

Presence of cagA Gene in Patients with Gastric Cancer and Gastritis with Helicobacter pylori Infection

Background and purpose: Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative, micro-aerophilic, and spiral-shaped bacillus. Infection with this bacterium can lead to gastritis, ulcers, and even gastric cancer. This study was conducted to evaluate the presence of the cagA gene among patients with gastritis and gastric cancer. Materials and methods: This study was performed in patients with gastritis (n=40) a...

cagA and vacA status of Spanish Helicobacter pylori clinical isolates.

Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative rod associated with gastroduodenal pathologies, such as gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric adenocarcinoma. Although most H. pylori infections are clinically silent, the organism is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. It is unknown why the bacteria are able to produce severe disease in some hosts and be innocuous in others. Different viru...
