High prevalence of cagA- and babA2-positive Helicobacter pylori clinical isolates in Taiwan.
Two virulence markers, cagA and babA2, were characterized by PCR in 101 Helicobacter pylori isolates from a population in Taiwan. cagA was detected in 99% of the isolates, while babA2 was present in all of the isolates. Base deletions and substitutions at the forward babA2 primer annealing sites were found. Given their high prevalence, cagA and babA2 cannot be useful markers for predicting the ...
متن کاملcagA 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...
متن کاملHigh prevalence of clarithromycin resistance and cagA, vacA, iceA2, and babA2 genotypes of Helicobacter pylori in Brazilian children.
We isolated 45 Helicobacter pylori strains from 217 child patients. Resistance to clarithromycin, metronidazole, amoxicillin, and tetracycline was detected in 27%, 13%, 4%, and 0% of strains, respectively. The A2143G mutation was the most prevalent (67%) among clarithromycin-resistant strains. In addition, strain genotyping revealed a significant association between gastritis severity and the s...
متن کاملPrevalence of Helicobacter pylori cagA, babA2, and dupA genotypes and correlation with clinical outcome in Malaysian patients with dyspepsia.
BACKGROUND/AIM The severity of disease outcome in dyspepsia has been attributed to Helicobacter pylori virulence genes. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of H. pylori virulence genes (cagA, babA2, and dupA) and to determine whether or not there arises a significant correlation with clinical dyspepsia outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS H. pylori genotypes cagA, babA2, and du...
متن کاملClinical relevance of the babA2 genotype of Helicobacter pylori in Japanese clinical isolates.
Genotypic variation of Helicobacter pylori is speculated to associate with different clinical outcomes. In Western countries, the gene encoding blood group antigen-binding adhesin (BabA), babA2, is of high clinical relevance and is a useful marker to identify patients who are at higher risk for peptic ulceration and gastric adenocarcinoma, as are vacA and cagA. We investigated the presence of b...
