Gastric bacterial Flora in patients Harbouring Helicobacter pylori with or without chronic dyspepsia: analysis with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy

چکیده
BACKGROUND The gastric microbiota has recently been implicated in the causation of organic/structural gastroduodenal diseases (gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastric cancer) in patients with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. We aimed to ascertain, in patients harbouring H. pylori, the role of the gastric microbiota in the causation of symptoms (chronic dyspepsia) in the absence of organic disease. METHODS Seventy-four gastric biopsy samples obtained at endoscopy from patients with (n = 21) or without (n = 53) chronic dyspepsia, and that tested positive by the bedside rapid urease test for H. pylori infection, were cultured for detection of H. pylori and non-H. pylori organisms. The cultured organisms were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy (MALDI-TOF MS). RESULTS A total of 106 non-H. pylori isolates were obtained from 74 patients' samples. This included 33 isolates (median 2, range 1-2 per patient) from dyspeptic and 73 (median 2, range 1-2 per patient) from non-dyspeptic patients. These were identified from the Bruker Biotyper 2 database as Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Lactobacillus spp., Micrococcus spp., Enterococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Escherichia spp., Klebsiella spp. and Bacillus spp., Staphylococcus and Lactobacillus were identified significantly more commonly in dyspeptics and Streptococcus, Pseudomonas, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in non-dyspeptics. All identified organisms belonged to the phyla Firmicutes and Proteobacteria. CONCLUSIONS There is a qualitative difference in the gastric microbial spectrum between patients harbouring H. pylori with and without chronic dyspepsia. Whether these organisms have an independent role in the development or prevention of dyspepsia or act in concurrence with H. pylori needs study.

Culturable Bacterial Microbiota of the Stomach of Helicobacter pylori Positive and Negative Gastric Disease Patients
Human stomach is the only known natural habitat of Helicobacter pylori (Hp), a major bacterial pathogen that causes different gastroduodenal diseases. Despite this, the impact of Hp on the diversity and the composition of the gastric microbiota has been poorly studied. In this study, we have analyzed the culturable gastric microbiota of 215 Malaysian patients, including 131 Hp positive and 84 H...
متن کاملProtein profiling of infected human gastric epithelial cells with an Iranian Helicobacter pylori clinical isolate
Aim The main objective of this study was to use high throughput approach to characterize the response of human gastric epithelial cells to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection at protein level. Background Alteration of host cell protein profiles occurs due to H.pylori infection. This alteration seems to be strain specific. High throughput approaches, such as proteomics, can describe chan...
متن کاملComparative analysis of two-dimensional electrophoresis maps (2-DE) of Helicobacter pylori from Brazilian patients with chronic gastritis and duodenal ulcer: a preliminary report.
Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium recognized as the major cause of peptic ulcer and chronic gastritis. Recently, a proteome-based approach was developed to investigate pathogenic factors related to H. pylori. In this preliminary study, H. pylori strains were isolated from gastric biopsies of patients with chronic gastritis and duodenal ulcers. A partial proteomic analysis of H. pylori strains ...
متن کاملPAR-1 polymorphisms and risk of Helicobacter pylori-related gastric cancer in a Chinese population.
BACKGROUND PAR-1 has been involved in inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, tumour cell growth and invasion of gastric carcinoma cells. Thus, we aimed at determining, for the first time, the association between PAR-1 - 506 ins/del and -IVSn-14 A/T and risk of Helicobacter pylori-related gastric cancer (GC) in an ethnic Chinese population. MATERIALS AND METHODS A case-control study compr...
