Abstract
INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), the most prevalent chronic infection globally, is the major cause of relevant diseases such as gastric cancer, leading to high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Several studies have focused on optimize H. pylori eradication treatment through combination therapies and antibiotic resistance. However, the adverse events profile and its impact, as a primary outcome, remains underexplored.The aim of this review was to summarize the available data on the safety of the most common regimens for H. pylori eradication and its impact on the compliance. AREAS COVERED This review encompassed the published evidence from the years 2008 to 2023 regarding both the safety and compliance for most common H. pylori eradication regimens. The main sources for this review comprised MEDLINE, PubMed, and Cochrane electronic databases. Furthermore, it included a safety analysis of unpublished data from the European Registry on H. pylori management (Hp-EuReg). EXPERT OPINION Poor compliance is correlated with significantly lower cure rates, and this is a unique modifiable source of H. pylori treatment failure. Eradication treatments have become complex, involving multiple drugs and dosing intervals. Thus, patient education is crucial; doctors must explain to the patient about potential temporary and most often harmless side effects.

Practice guidelines for the management of Helicobacter pylori infection: The Saudi H. pylori Working Group recommendations. Saudi J Gastroenterol 2023; 29:326-346. [PMID: 36204804 PMCID: PMC10754383 DOI: 10.4103/sjg.sjg_288_22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Revised: 08/07/2022] [Accepted: 08/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
The eradication rates for Helicobacter pylori globally are decreasing with a dramatic increase in the prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria all over the world, including Saudi Arabia. There is no current consensus on the management of H. pylori in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Gastroenterology Association developed these practice guidelines after reviewing the local and regional studies on the management of H. pylori. The aim was to establish recommendations to guide healthcare providers in managing H. pylori in Saudi Arabia. Experts in the areas of H. pylori management and microbiology were invited to write these guidelines. A literature search was performed, and all authors participated in writing and reviewing the guidelines. In addition, international guidelines and consensus reports were reviewed to bridge the gap in knowledge when local and regional data were unavailable. There is limited local data on treatment of H. pylori. The rate of clarithromycin and metronidazole resistance is high; therefore, standard triple therapy for 10-14 days is no longer recommended in the treatment of H. pylori unless antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed. Based on the available data, bismuth quadruple therapy for 10-14 days is considered the best first-line and second-line therapy. Culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing should be considered following two treatment failures. These recommendations are intended to provide the most relevant evidence-based guidelines for the management of H. pylori infection in Saudi Arabia. The working group recommends further studies to explore more therapeutic options to eradicate H. pylori.

Abstract
According to the Maastricht VI consensus, the triple therapy (PPI + clarithromycin + amoxicillin) and bismuth-based quadruple therapy (PPI + bismuth + tetracycline + metronidazole) are considered and may be proscribed empirically as first-line regimens in the regions with low clarithromycin resistance rates (<15%). In the regions with high clarithromycin resistance rates (> 15%), as well as in the regions with unknown resistance to this antibacterial agent, it is recommended to use classical quadruple therapy with bismuth drugs as the main choice and quadruple therapy without bismuth drugs (“simultaneous” or “concomitant”) as an alternative. The second-line regimens of empiric choice (when antimicrobial susceptibility testing is not available) include fluoroquinolone-based quadruple therapy (PPI + levofloxacin + amoxicillin + bismuth) or fluoroquinolone-based triple therapy (PPI + levofloxacin + amoxicillin) and bismuth-based quadruple therapy. The Maastricht VI consensus regulates the use of rifabutin-based triple therapy (PPI + amoxicillin + rifabutin) as a “rescue” therapy, if the above ET schemes are ineffective and there is no possibility to conduct an antimicrobial susceptibility test. In its latest clinical guidelines, the Russian Gastroenterological Association (RGA) recommends with a view to achieving maximum treatment efficiency during classic triple ET and levelling the risk of further progression of clarithromycin resistance in Russia to take additional measures to increase its effectiveness (detailed instruction of a patient and control over strict adherence to the prescribed regimen, prolonging the course up to 14 days; prescribing PPI at increased dose twice a day; the latest generation PPIs (rabeprazole and esomeprazole); adding bismuth tripotassium dicitrate (240 mg 2 times a day) to the standard triple therapy; adding cytoprotector rebamipide (100 mg 3 times a day) to the standard triple therapy; adding a probiotic with proven efficacy to the standard triple therapy within controlled studies).

Abstract
Background Multiple regimens have been widely used in the eradication treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection in children. However, there is a lack of comparison and evaluation of their effectiveness in different regions of the world. Methods Randomized controlled trials were retrieved. Review Manager 5.4, Stata SE 15 and R 4.0.4 statistical software were used to analyze date. The ranking probability is assessed according to the surfaces under cumulative ranking (SUCRA). Results 163 studies were eligible for this study, involving 336 arms and 18,257 children, and 10 different interventions. The results showed that the eradication rates of sequential therapy with probiotics (SP), bismuth-containing quadruple (Quadruple) therapy, concomitant therapy and PCN therapy were at least 90%. Cumulative ranking showed that SP therapy had the best eradication effect (SUCRA 92.7%) whereas Bismuth-containing triple therapy (B) had the worst (SUCRA 3.5%). Subgroup analysis suggested that SP therapy ranked first in China and other regions, and the ranking of Triple therapy with probiotics therapy (TP) was equally stable (SUCRA 72.0% vs 76.4% respectively). The security of the SP and TP therapy had great advantages. Conclusions As for the eradication treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection in children, SP therapy ranks highest. SP and TP therapies are most safe.

Abstract
Physiologic pH is vital for the normal functioning of tissues and varies in different parts of the body. The varying pH of the body has been exploited to design pH-sensitive smart oral, transdermal and vaginal drug delivery systems (DDS). The DDS demonstrated promising results in hard-to-treat diseases such as cancer and Helicobacter pylori infection. In some cases, a change in pH of tissues or body fluids has also been employed as a useful diagnostic biomarker. This paper aims to comprehensively review the development and applications of pH-sensitive DDS as well as recent advances in the field.

Abstract
Aim: bring to the attention of practitioners indications for anti-Helicobacter therapy, methods and procedure for diagnostics and eradication therapy of Н. pylori infection.Key points. Chronic gastritis caused by Н. pylori infection, including asymptomatic persons, may be considered as an indication for eradication therapy of Н. pylori as etiological therapy and opportunistic screening for gastric cancer prevention. Indications, for obligatory anti-Helicobacter therapy include peptic ulcer, gastric MALT lymphoma, early gastric cancer (EGC) with endoscopic resection. H. pylori primary diagnostics methods include 13C-urea breath test, H. pylori stool antigen lab test, rapid urease test and serological method. The serological method cannot be used after anti-Helicobacter therapy.In Russia H. pylori strains' resistance to clarithromycin does not exceed 15 % in most regional studies. The first line therapy for Н. pylori infection eradication is the standard triple therapy including a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), clarithromycin and amoxicillin, enhanced with bismuthate tripotassium dicitrate. A classic four-component therapy based on bismuthate tripotassium dicitrate or quadrotherapy without bismuth drug products which includes PPI, amoxicillin, clarithromycin and metronidazole, may be used as alternative to the first line eradication therapy. The standard triple therapy may be prescribed for 14 days only in those regions, where it has been proven to be effective. Quadrotherapy with bismuthate tripotassium dicitrate is also used as main second line therapy in case of standard triple therapy, bismuth enhanced standard triple therapy or combined therapy failure. Another second line therapy includes PPI, levofloxacin and amoxicillin, to which a bismuth-containing drug product may be added. The third line therapy is selected individually based on previously used treatment settings.Conclusion. In each case of H. pylori infection the decision for eradication therapy should be made, which is especially relevant as eradication of H. pylori has been recognized as an effective measure for the prevention of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Patients who have failed two or more attempts to eradicate Helicobacter pylori are commonly referred to as refractory. Although the incidence of refractory Helicobacter pylori infection is only 10–20%, with the increasing rate of antibiotic resistance in various regions, the treatment of refractory Helicobacter pylori infection has gradually become a difficult problem faced by clinicians. When choosing a rescue therapy, the physician must consider numerous factors. A longer treatment duration, higher doses of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), or the use of potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) may increase the efficacy of triple therapy or bismuth quadruple therapy. Rescue treatment based on bismuth quadruple therapy usually achieves better results. At the same time, treatment based on drug susceptibility tests or genotypic resistance is recommended where available. Of course, appropriate empiric treatment can also be selected according to local drug resistance, a patient’s previous medication history and compliance. It is the best choice if it can improve the success rate of the first treatment and reduce the occurrence of refractory Helicobacter pylori infection. This review aims to summarize the articles related to refractory Helicobacter pylori in recent years and to explore a better remedial treatment plan for clinicians.

Abstract
An analysis of the most important changes and provisions of the Maastricht VI consensus published in August 2022 is presented. 41 experts from 29 countries took part in the creation of the consensus. Recommendations have been developed in five areas: (1) indications for treatment and clinical associations of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, (2) diagnosis, (3) treatment, (4) prevention of gastric cancer, (5) H. pylori and gastric microbiota -intestinal tract (GIT), taking into account the level of evidence and the strength of recommendations. Emphasis is placed on molecular testing, which is becoming an increasingly accessible research method in the world to identify both H. pylori itself and its sensitivity to antibiotics. The growing resistance of H. pylori strains to previously effective antibacterial agents requires a treatment strategy that implies the ability to determine the sensitivity of H. pylori to antibacterial agents both in the population and in a particular individual. The use of modern diagnostic tests expands the possibilities of individualization of therapy, since it allows determining not only the presence of H. pylori in the gastric mucosa, but also the sensitivity of the infection to antibacterial drugs. Along with individual approaches to treatment, the most effective empirical therapy regimens are given in case of impossibility to determine individual resistance to antibiotics. New data on the effectiveness and results of the use of primary and secondary preventive strategies for gastric cancer are presented. Given the important role of the entire microbiome of the gastrointestinal tract in the functioning of the body, the question of the interaction of H. pylori with other microorganisms is discussed. The critical issues of the near future are related to the global prevention of gastric cancer; the need to control antibiotic resistance, and the development of new methods of therapy and prevention of Helicobacter pylori infection.

Abstract
Helicobacter pyloriInfection is formally recognised as an infectious disease, an entity that is now included in the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision. This in principle leads to the recommendation that all infected patients should receive treatment. In the context of the wide clinical spectrum associated with Helicobacter pylori gastritis, specific issues persist and require regular updates for optimised management.The identification of distinct clinical scenarios, proper testing and adoption of effective strategies for prevention of gastric cancer and other complications are addressed. H. pylori treatment is challenged by the continuously rising antibiotic resistance and demands for susceptibility testing with consideration of novel molecular technologies and careful selection of first line and rescue therapies. The role of H. pylori and antibiotic therapies and their impact on the gut microbiota are also considered.Progress made in the management of H. pylori infection is covered in the present sixth edition of the Maastricht/Florence 2021 Consensus Report, key aspects related to the clinical role of H. pylori infection were re-evaluated and updated. Forty-one experts from 29 countries representing a global community, examined the new data related to H. pylori infection in five working groups: (1) indications/associations, (2) diagnosis, (3) treatment, (4) prevention/gastric cancer and (5) H. pylori and the gut microbiota. The results of the individual working groups were presented for a final consensus voting that included all participants. Recommendations are provided on the basis of the best available evidence and relevance to the management of H. pylori infection in various clinical fields.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection is very common in the Spanish population and represents the main cause of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer. The last iteration of Spanish consensus guidelines on H. pylori infection was conducted in 2016. Recent changes in therapeutic schemes along with increasing supporting evidence were key for developing the V Spanish Consensus Conference (May 2021). Fourteen experts performed a systematic review of the scientific evidence and developed a series of recommendations that were subjected to an anonymous Delphi process of iterative voting. Scientific evidence and the strength of the recommendation were classified using GRADE guidelines. An eradication therapy, when prescribed empirically, is considered acceptable when it reliably achieves, or preferably surpass, 90% cure rates. Currently, only quadruple therapies (with or without bismuth) and generally lasting 14 days, accomplish this goal in first- and second-line therapies. A non-bismuth quadruple concomitant regimen (proton pump inhibitor, clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and metronidazole) or a quadruple bismuth-based combination (proton pump inhibitor, bismuth, tetracycline, and metronidazole), are recommended as first-line regimens. Rescue therapies after eradication failure and management of H. pylori infection in peptic ulcer disease were also reviewed.

Efficacy of second-line regimens for Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment: a systemic review and network meta-analysis. BMJ Open Gastroenterol 2021; 7:bmjgast-2020-000472. [PMID: 32883715 PMCID: PMC7473629 DOI: 10.1136/bmjgast-2020-000472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2020] [Revised: 07/16/2020] [Accepted: 07/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Current guidelines recommend bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (BQT) and quinolone-containing therapy after failure of first-line Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy. However, the optimum regimen of second-line eradication therapy remains elusive. We conducted a network meta-analysis to compare the relative efficacy of 16 second-line H. pylori eradication regimens. Methods Three major bibliographic databases were reviewed to enrol relevant randomised controlled trials between January 2000 and September 2018. Network meta-analysis was conducted by STATA software and we performed subgroup analysis in countries with high clarithromycin resistance and high levofloxacin resistance, and in patients with documented failure of first-line triple therapy. Results Fifty-four studies totalling 8752 participants who received 16 regimens were eligible for analysis. Compared with a 7-day BQT, use of probiotic add-on therapy during, before, and after second-line antibiotic regimens, quinolone-based sequential therapy for 10–14 days, quinolone-based bismuth quadruple therapy for 10–14 days, bismuth quadruple therapy for 10–14 days, and quinolone-based triple therapy for 10–14 days were significantly superior to the other regimens. Subgroup analysis of countries with high clarithromycin resistance and high levofloxacin resistance revealed that the ranking of second-line eradication regimens was distributed similarly in each group, as well as in patients with failure of first-line triple therapy. Conclusion We conducted a detailed comparison of second-line H. pylori regimens according to different antibiotic resistance rates and the results suggest alternative treatment choices with potential benefits beyond those that could be achieved using salvage therapies recommended by guidelines.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The safety of Helicobacter pylori eradication treatments and to what extent adverse events (AEs) influence therapeutic compliance in clinical practice are hardly known. Our aim was to assess the frequency, type, intensity, and duration of AEs, and their impact on compliance, for the most frequently used treatments in the "European Registry on Helicobacter pylori management." METHODS Systematic prospective noninterventional registry of the clinical practice of European gastroenterologists (27 countries, 300 investigators) on the management of H. pylori infection in routine clinical practice. All prescribed eradication treatments and their corresponding safety profile were recorded. AEs were classified depending on the intensity of symptoms as mild/moderate/severe and as serious AEs. All data were subject to quality control. RESULTS The different treatments prescribed to 22,492 patients caused at least 1 AE in 23% of the cases; the classic bismuth-based quadruple therapy was the worst tolerated (37% of AEs). Taste disturbance (7%), diarrhea (7%), nausea (6%), and abdominal pain (3%) were the most frequent AEs. The majority of AEs were mild (57%), 6% were severe, and only 0.08% were serious, with an average duration of 7 days. The treatment compliance rate was 97%. Only 1.3% of the patients discontinued treatment due to AEs. Longer treatment durations were significantly associated with a higher incidence of AEs in standard triple, concomitant, bismuth quadruple, and levofloxacin triple or quadruple therapies. DISCUSSION Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment frequently induces AEs, although they are usually mild and of limited duration. Their appearance does not interfere significantly with treatment compliance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Antimicrobial resistance significantly affects the cure rate of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication. We evaluated the risk factor of failure in ultimate H. pylori eradication and assessed the efficacy of current regimens to overcome antibiotic resistance. METHODS Patients with H. pylori infection were prospectively enrolled in a single center. They were classified into 3 groups according to the previous history of H. pylori eradication, and antibiotic susceptibility was evaluated by culture and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). RESULTS Ninety-seven patients were successfully cultured for H. pylori and 81 (83.5%), 7 (7.2%), and 9 (9.3%) were classified into primary resistance, 1st eradication failure, and 2nd or more eradication failure groups; the resistance to clarithromycin (CLA), metronidazole (MET), and levofloxacin increased in the 1st eradication failure (85.7, 57.1, and 42.9%) and 2nd or more eradication failure (88.9, 88.9, and 55.6%) groups. The prevalence of MDR was 21.0% (17/81), 57.1% (4/7), and 88.9% (8/9) in the primary, 1st eradication failure, and 2nd or more eradication failure groups, respectively. In multivariate analysis, dual CLA/MET resistance (CLA/MET-R) (OR = 31.432, 95% CI: 3.094-319.266, p = 0.004) was an independent risk factor for ultimate H. pylori eradication failure. In patients with dual CLA/MET-R, the eradication ratio of concomitant therapy was 57.1% (4/7), whereas that of bismuth-containing quadruple therapy was 27.3% (3/11) (p = 0.350). CONCLUSIONS Dual CLA/MET-R was the main cause of failure in ultimate H. pylori eradication, and 7-day bismuth quadruple or concomitant regimen would not be suitable for H. pylori eradication in the dual CLA/MET-R group.

Abstract
Introduction: Eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) becomes more challenging due to increasing antimicrobial resistance. Consequently, the performance of clarithromycin-containing triple therapies is now declining to unacceptable levels and should be abandoned unless a prior susceptibility test precludes clarithromycin resistance.Areas covered: This review summarizes updated evidence concerning new and advancing pharmacotherapy options for H. pylori eradication.Expert opinion: Due to the declining efficacy of legacy triple therapies, most guidelines recommend bismuth quadruple therapy as the best initial empiric treatment. Concomitant, sequential and hybrid therapies are remarkable bismuth-free quadruple options, provided that dual clarithromycin-metronidazole resistance is low. Levofloxacin-, rifabutin-, furazolidone- and sitafloxacin-containing regimens remain useful, particularly as salvage options. To eradicate H. pylori in line with the rules of antibiotic stewardship, susceptibility-guided treatment appears as the ideal approach. However, the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of universal pre-treatment susceptibility testing warrants further evaluation. Molecular testing methods promise convenient characterization of H. pylori antibiotic susceptibility. High-dose dual therapy (proton-pump-inhibitor plus amoxicillin) and vonoprazan, a more potent acid inhibitor that likely enhances the activity of amoxicillin, are promising alternatives that could decrease misuse of antibiotics. Addition of certain probiotics could somewhat increase the performance of H. pylori eradication regimens, while improving tolerability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Inhibition of gastric acid secretion is important for eradicating Helicobacter pylori. Vonoprazan (VPZ) is a strong, long-lasting inhibitor of gastric acid secretion. Studies that examined the effectiveness of VPZ-based triple therapy in second-line treatment have been performed. However, there have been no randomized controlled studies to compare the effect between VPZ-based triple therapy and proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based triple therapy in second-line treatment, and it is not known which is more effective between VPZ-based and PPI-based therapies. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of second-line triple therapies including VPZ or rabeprazole (RPZ) as the PPI. METHODS Eligible patients with H. pylori infection who failed first-line triple therapy were assigned randomly to the VPZ [VPZ40 mg/day, amoxicillin (AMPC) 1500 mg/day, metronidazole (MNZ) 500 mg/day] or RPZ (RPZ20 mg/day, AMPC1500 mg/day, MNZ500 mg/day) group. A 13C-urea breath test result of less than 2.5% was considered as successful eradication. RESULTS In total, 46 and 41 patients were analyzed as intention to treat (ITT) and per protocol (PP), respectively. Eradication rates in the VPZ and RPZ groups were 73.9% [95% confidence interval (CI) 51.6-89.8%] and 82.6% (95% CI 61.2-95.0%) based on ITT analysis, respectively (p = 0.72). Based on PP analysis, the eradication rates in the VPZ and RPZ groups were 89.5% (95% CI 66.9-98.7%) and 86.4% (95% CI 65.1-97.1%), respectively (p = 1.00). Two patients in the VPZ group and one in the RPZ group discontinued treatment due to side effects (p = 1.00). CONCLUSION There were no significant differences in efficacy and safety between second-line therapies including VPZ or RPZ.

[PMID: 33147814 PMCID: PMC7663000 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25215084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2020] [Revised: 10/28/2020] [Accepted: 10/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
H. pylori infection is the main cause of gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcer disease, and gastric cancer. Fluoroquinolones such as levofloxacin, or more recently moxifloxacin or sitafloxacin, are efficacious alternatives to standard antibiotics for H. pylori eradication. The aim of the present review is to summarize the role of quinolone-based eradication therapies, mainly focusing on the optimization strategies aimed to increase their efficacy. Several meta-analyses have shown that, after failure of a first-line eradication treatment, a levofloxacin-containing rescue regimen is at least equally effective, and better tolerated, than the generally recommended bismuth quadruple regimen. Compliance with the levofloxacin regimens is excellent, and the safety profile is favourable. Higher cure rates have been reported with longer treatments (>10-14 days), and 500 mg levofloxacin daily is the recommended dose. Adding bismuth to the standard triple regimen (PPI-amoxicillin-levofloxacin) has been associated with encouraging results. Unfortunately, resistance to quinolones is easily acquired and is increasing in most countries, being associated with a decrease in the eradication rate of H. pylori. In summary, a quinolone (mainly levofloxacin)-containing regimen is an encouraging second-line (or even third-line) strategy, and a safe and simple alternative to bismuth quadruple therapy in patients whose previous H. pylori eradication therapy has failed.

Ji CR, Liu J, Li YY, Qiao C, Qu JY, Hu JN, Lin MJ, Ji R, Li LX, Zuo XL, Li YQ. Susceptibility-guided quadruple therapy is not superior to medication history-guided therapy for the rescue treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection: A randomized controlled trial. J Dig Dis 2020; 21:549-557. [PMID: 32833285 DOI: 10.1111/1751-2980.12934] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2020] [Revised: 07/14/2020] [Accepted: 08/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of two personalized rescue therapies for Helicobacter pylori infection. METHODS An open-label, single-center, randomized controlled trial was conducted. Patients who had failed one or two regimens for H. pylori infection were randomized to receive a 14-day bismuth-containing quadruple therapy guided by antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) or personal medication history (PMH). In the AST group, either two of amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole or levofloxacin were prescribed according to the AST. In the PMH group, amoxicillin plus either levofloxacin or furazolidone were prescribed based on the patient's history of quinolone use. The primary outcomes were eradication rates confirmed by an urea breath test 6 weeks after treatment. The secondary outcomes were adherence, incidence of adverse events (AE) and cost-effectiveness. RESULTS Altogether 164 with a positive culture received AST-guided therapy and 192 received PMH-guided therapy, respectively. Both AST- and PMH-guided therapies achieved comparable eradication rate (intention-to-treat analysis: 78.10% vs 74.29%, P = 0.42; per-protocol analysis: 87.10% vs 88.64%, P = 0.80). The AST clarithromycin regimen had a lower per-protocol eradication rate than the levofloxacin (75.47% vs 96.30%, P = 0.03) or furazolidone-containing regimen (75.47% vs 92.75%, P = 0.02). Both groups had high compliance with low incidences of AE, and PMH-guided therapy had a lower medical cost. CONCLUSIONS AST-guided therapy was not superior to PMH-guided therapy as a second- or third-line treatment for H. pylori infection. Considering the cost-effectiveness, PMH therapy is clinically more favorable.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection still represents a major health issue, especially in developing countries, with an estimate of 4 billion of infected subjects in 2015. The increase of antibiotic resistance has undermined the efficacy of standard triple therapy leading to more complex regimens. This review summarizes recommendations of international guidelines and reports the most recent evidence from meta-analyses and clinical trials on the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. The choice of H. pylori eradication regimen should be based on the local prevalence of clarithromycin resistance and the previous use of macrolides. Quadruple therapies (bismuth quadruple and concomitant) are the recommended regimens for the first-line treatment; a 14-day clarithromycin-containing triple therapy is suggested in areas with low prevalence of clarithromycin resistance and in patients without previous use of macrolides. Data on the efficacy of sequential therapy against clarithromycin resistant H. pylori strains are contradictory, and its use in the treatment of H. pylori infection is generally discouraged. Second-line treatments include levofloxacin-containing triple therapy and bismuth quadruple therapy. Probiotic supplementation should be used with the aim to reduce antibiotic-related adverse events. Recent evidence would support current guideline recommendations for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection.

Abstract
The Hellenic Society of Gastroenterology recently organized the “Hellenic consensus on Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection”. The aim of this publication is to report the guidelines in order to aid the national gastroenterology community in the management of H. pylori infection. Forty-one delegates from all Greek regions, including gastroenterologists, pathologists, clinical microbiologists, epidemiologists and basic scientists, were invited to this meeting. The participants were allocated to 1 of the 4 main topics of the meeting: i.e., H. pylori diagnosis and association with diseases; H. pylori and gastric cancer; H. pylori and extragastric associated disorders; and H. pylori treatment. The results of each subgroup were submitted to a final consensus vote that included all participants. Relevant data based on international and Greek publications were presented, and the quality of evidence, strength of recommendation, and level of consensus were graded. The cutoff level of 70% was considered as acceptance for the final statement. It is hoped that the recommendations and conclusions of this report will guide Greek doctors in their daily practice concerning the management of H. pylori infection.

Abstract
This review summarizes important studies regarding Helicobacter pylori therapy published from May 2018 to May 2019. The main themes that emerge involve studies assessing the efficacy of bismuth-based regimens. While in recent years the efficacy of bismuth-based quadruple therapy as a second-line therapy has been clearly established, there is now substantial evidence that it is the best performing first-line therapy. Antibiotic resistance was again intensely studied this year, and a clear and dramatic increase in resistance is noted for clarithromycin and levofloxacin; most notably, it may not be possible to support these therapies in most regions of the world much longer without testing. The utility of vonoprazan as an alternative to proton-pump inhibitor therapy, especially in resistant and difficult to treat groups, has also been considered in greater detail this year, as well as means of supporting and enhancing adherence to therapy. Several studies showed that the diversity of gut microbiota was significantly altered shortly after H pylori eradication. However, the diversity was restored to pre-treatment state after 2 months in patients treated with triple therapy. More studies are warranted to assess the long-term changes of gut microbiota after H pylori eradication.

High primary resistance to metronidazole and levofloxacin, and a moderate resistance to clarithromycin in Helicobacter pylori isolated from Karnataka patients. Gut Pathog 2019; 11:21. [PMID: 31110563 PMCID: PMC6513510 DOI: 10.1186/s13099-019-0305-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2019] [Accepted: 05/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Due to increased prevalence of H. pylori antimicrobial resistance worldwide and more importantly the resistance patterns vary between different geographical regions, it is important to survey local H. pylori antibiotic resistance profile to provide physicians with more informed drug choices to better treat H. pylori infection. To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance of H. pylori in Karnataka state of South India. Results A total of 113 H. pylori strains were isolated from gastric biopsies and tested: 81.4% were resistant to metronidazole, 54.9% were resistant to levofloxacin, 20.4% were resistant to clarithromycin, 5.3% were resistant to tetracycline and 7.1% were resistant to amoxicillin. Multidrug resistance was detected in 59.3% of total isolated strains, among which 86.6% were resistant to at least both metronidazole and levofloxacin. In this study, 38 out of 113 H. pylori strains had been whole-genome sequenced. Based on the draft genomes, RdxA and/or FrxA inactivation mutations were found to present in 75% of metronidazole-resistant strains. Clarithromycin-resistant strains had mainly A2143G and G2224A mutations in the 23 rRNA gene. While 87.1% levofloxacin-resistant strains had amino acid substitution mutations occurring predominantly at N87 and D91 in GyrA, novel mutations in the same protein including an insertion of five amino acid residues (QDNSV), immediately after the start codon, and a substitution mutation at R295 were identified. Conclusion High primary resistance to metronidazole and levofloxacin, and a modest occurrence of clarithromycin resistance were revealed in H. pylori strains isolated from Karnataka patients. Therefore metronidazole-, levofloxacin- and clarithromycin-based triple therapies are not suitable as first-line treatment in Karnataka. Both amoxicillin and tetracycline can still be used to eradicate H. pylori infection in this region. We also revealed novel mutations in GyrA protein that possibly contribute to H. pylori resistance in levofloxacin, which merit further investigations.
