Helicobacter pylori virulence factor genotypes in children in the United States: clues about genotype and outcome relationships.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The most common Helicobacter pylori genotype among 37 U.S. children was cagA positive, vacA s1m1, and oipA "on" (n = 17, 45.9%), followed by cagA negative, vacA s2m2, and oipA "off" (n = 8, 21.6%), similar to the pattern in adults. cagA positivity was more common in blacks than in whites (i.e., 100% versus 56.5%, P = 0.032).

Background: Polymorphisms in the immune related genes are important in the clinical outcome of Helicobacter pylori infection. Myeloperoxidase -463 G/A polymorphism has been shown to reduce enzyme expression and activity. Objective: the aim of the present study is to investigate the association of myeloperoxidase G-463A polymor-phism with clinical outcome of Helicobacter pylori infection. Method...

Background& Aims: Gastric adenocarcinoma has been considered as an infectious disease since 1994, when the Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection categorized as a definite class I human carcinogen. H. pylori uses extensive numbers of virulence factors to overcome host defence mechanisms. One independent H. pylori factor that plays an important role in determining H.pylori pathogenesisis vacu...
متن کاملRelationship between Helicobacter pylori iceA, cagA, and vacA status and clinical outcome: studies in four different countries.
There is continuing interest in identifying Helicobacter pylori virulence factors that might predict the risk for symptomatic clinical outcomes. It has been proposed that iceA and cagA genes are such markers and can identify patients with peptic ulcers. We compared H. pylori isolates from four countries, looking at the cagA and vacA genotypes, iceA alleles, and presentation of the infection. We...
متن کاملHigh frequency of hopQ genotypes among Iranian Helicobacter pylori clinical isolates.
Different virulence factors are involved in Helicobacter pylori pathogenesis. H. pylori outer membrane proteins are a family of virulence factors that have diverse members. HopQ (H. pylori outer membrane protein) is the largest of them that contains types I and II alleles. The role of hopQ is not exactly known, but it has been considered in H. pylori adhesion and colonization. The aim of this s...

The clinical outcome of Helicobacter pylori infection has been particularly associated with virulence genotypes. These genotypes are useful as molecular markers in the identification of patients that are infected and at high risk for developing more severe gastric pathologies. Our main objective was to determine the prevalence of virulence genotypes cagA, vacA, iceA and babA2 of H. pylori, in p...
