Genome Sequencing of 10 Helicobacter pylori Pediatric Strains from Patients with Nonulcer Dyspepsia and Peptic Ulcer Disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present draft genome sequences of 10 Helicobacter pylori clinical strains isolated from children. This will be important for future studies of comparative genomics in order to better understand the virulence determinants underlying peptic ulcer disease.

Cytotoxin production by Helicobacter pylori from patients with upper gastrointestinal tract diseases.
A cytotoxin produced by some Helicobacter pylori strains has recently been identified. The cytotoxin induces intracellular vacuolization of cultured cells. The aim of the present study was to examine the frequency of occurrence of cytotoxin-producing strains of H. pylori from subjects with upper gastrointestinal disease including nonulcer dyspepsia, gastric and duodenal ulcer disease, gastroeso...
متن کاملCost-benefit analysis of testing for Helicobacter pylori in dyspeptic subjects.
OBJECTIVES It has remained controversial how to manage patients who present with symptoms of dyspepsia. Should all dyspeptic patients undergo a radiological or endoscopic procedure to diagnose peptic ulcer, or would a serological test for Helicobacter pylori provide sufficient evidence to start all H. pylori-positive patients on empirical antibiotic therapy? METHODS The outcome of serological...
متن کاملRapid increase in the prevalence of metronidazole-resistant Helicobacter pylori in the Netherlands.
The prevalence of primary metronidazole resistance of Helicobacter pylori was studied in one Dutch hospital from 1993 to 1996 and in two additional Dutch hospitals in 1993 and 1996. All cultures of antral biopsy specimens yielding H. pylori in the study period were evaluated, except those from patients who had received anti-H. pylori treatment; 1,037 H. pylori strains, all from different patien...
متن کاملDNA-level characterization of Helicobacter pylori strains from patients with overt disease and with benign infections in Bangladesh.
The complex relation between the genotype of Helicobacter pylori and its association with clinical outcome is not well understood. Studies in the West have showed that strains expressing certain virulence factors (vacAs1, vacAm1, and cagA) are associated with duodenal ulcer disease. However, the H. pylori genotype is known to vary with geographic region. In the present study, we compared severa...
متن کاملMetronidazole-resistant Helicobacter pylori is more prevalent in patients with nonulcer dyspepsia than in peptic ulcer patients in a multiethnic Asian population.
The trend of increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance among Helicobacter pylori strains has been suggested as a cause of the failure of treatment of H. pylori infections. In this study, 120 of 211 antral biopsy specimens from patients with dyspeptic symptoms were found to harbor H. pylori. The isolates from the 120 specimens were tested by the agar dilution method, and 38 (31.7%) were fou...
