Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori is a worldwide pathogen that affects both animals and humans with a wide environmental distribution, causing serious health problems in humans. This research has timely addressed the topic of new sources of H. pylori infection, which is currently a global issue, especially in developing countries. For this purpose, 115 Tilapia fish, 50 freshwater samples, and 88 fish-handlers' stool samples were investigated for the presence of H. pylori in Qena Governorate, Egypt. The applied techniques were antigen screening tests, culturing, and molecular methods through ureC gene amplification, and 16 S rRNA characterization. RESULTS Helicobacter pylori was detected in 7.83%, 14%, 4.35%, and 12% of the investigated fish and water samples by culture and PCR methods, respectively. Out of the total studied participants, 40 tested positive for H. pylori when screened by stool antigen test, of which 35 (39.77%), and 31 (35.23%) were confirmed by conventional and molecular techniques, respectively. The Fisher's exact test has shown a statistically significant correlation between H. pylori infection, sex, and age as risk factors, while the association was insignificant concerning the residence. Males contracted the infection at a higher rate than females (48.08% and 16.67%, respectively). Also, H. pylori infection rate was the highest among fish-handlers aged 36-45 years old (46.67%), followed by the 26-35 years old age group (39.53%). With regard to the residence, a higher occurrence rate was recorded in the rural (36.07%) than the urban population (33.33%). Helicobacter pylori isolates harbored the highest antimicrobial resistance against ampicillin (100%), metronidazole (95.24%), while the least antimicrobial resistance was recorded against levofloxacin (21.43%), and clarithromycin (26.20%). The phylogenetic analysis revealed a high degree of homology between the isolates selected from Tilapia fish, freshwater, and fish-handlers. CONCLUSIONS Our data emphasized the role that fish and freshwater play in disseminating H. pylori infection as one of the diseases that has a significant public health issue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The incidence of Helicobacter pylori (HP) is 25-50% in developed countries and 80% in developing countries, including 56.2% in China. However, antibiotic resistance of HP is a threat to HP control. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively evaluate primary drug resistance of HP in China. METHODS The full text of reports of the primary antibiotic resistance prevalence of HP was obtained from multiple databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Evimed, Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Internet). Review Manager 5.2 was adopted for meta-analysis, sensitivity analysis, and bias analysis. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess the article quality. RESULTS In total, 38804 HP samples from 22 trials were extracted. The results suggested that the overall prevalence of amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, and levofloxacin resistance among HP in adults was as follows: mean difference (MD) = 1.35%, 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.03%, 1.68%]; MD = 23.76%, 95% CI [20.23%, 27.3%]; MD = 69.32%, 95% CI [64.85%, 73.8%]; and MD = 29.45%, 95% CI [4.90, 176.96], respectively. From the results of sensitivity and publication bias, we find that these results are robust and had little publication bias. CONCLUSION Our research showed that in China, the prevalence of HP resistance to primary antibiotics warrants attention, especially with regard to metronidazole, levofloxacin, and clarithromycin.

Abstract
Background The prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) keeps rising while the eradication rate continues to decline due to the increasing antibiotic resistance. Regional variations of antimicrobial resistance to H. pylori have been recommended by guidelines in recent years. This study aims to investigate the antibiotic resistance rate of H. pylori and its association with infected subjects' characteristics in Liaoning Province, an area in north China. Methods Gastric tissues from 178 H. pylori positive participants without previous antibiotic use within four weeks were collected for H. pylori culture. Antibiotic susceptibility to furazolidone (AOZ), tetracycline (TC), levofloxacin (LFX), metronidazole (MET), clarithromycin (CLA), and amoxicillin (AMX) were examined with the agar dilution method. Associations between H. pylori resistance and patient characteristics were further analysed. Results No resistance was observed in AOZ or TC. For LFX, MET, CLA, and AMX, the overall resistance rates were 41.10%, 79.14%, 71.78%, and 22.09% respectively. There were significant differences between resistance to CLA and MALToma (P = 0.021), and between resistance to MET and age (P < 0.001). Conclusions The primary resistant rates of LEX, MET, CLA, and AMX were relatively high in Liaoning. Treatment effectiveness improvement could be achieved by prior antimicrobial susceptibility tests before antibiotic prescription.

Abstract
Background Knowledge of global clarithromycin (CLA)-resistant rates of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is crucial for decision of the most appropriate eradication therapies with good clinical outcomes. Therefore, this review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the global prevalence of the CLA resistance in H. pylori to provide some guidance for selecting the first-line antibiotics. Method A comprehensive search was performed for relevant literature until April 2021 in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases. Freeman-Tukey double arcsine transformation was performed to estimate the weighted pooled prevalence of resistance. Results The meta-analysis included 248 articles. The prevalence of CLA-resistant H. pylori was 27.53% (95% CI [25.41-29.69]). The heterogeneity between reports was significant (I2 = 97.80%, P < 0.01). The resistance rate increased from 24.28% in 2010-2017 to 32.14% in 2018-2021 (P < 0.01). Iran, with 38 articles, has the most report. Nevertheless, Switzerland, Portugal, and Israel had the highest resistance rates (67.16%, 48.11%, and 46.12%, respectively). The heterogeneity between the continents and the antimicrobial susceptibility methods also interpreted standard guidelines and breakpoints was insignificant (P > 0.05). Conclusion Overall CLA resistance rate was 27.53%, worldwide. The difference in CLA resistance rate among the included studies can be due to several reasons such as differences in antibiotic prescription rates in various geographic areas, use of different breakpoints or inaccurate criteria in performed studies, and the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the rifamycin cross-resistance in Helicobacter pylori, and whether the use of rifampicin E-test strips to screen H. pylori rifabutin resistance is appropriate. METHODS A total of 89 H. pylori isolates were included. Rifampicin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were obtained by E-test, while the MICs for rifapentine, rifaximin, and rifabutin were determined by agar dilution method. The rifamycin resistance rates based on different breakpoints were compared. Isolates with high-level rifampicin resistance were subjected to whole-genome sequencing. RESULTS A wide distribution of MICs (mostly in the range 0.125-8 mg/L) was observed for rifampicin, rifapentine, and rifaximin. Using MIC >1, ≥ 4, and > 4 mg/L as the breakpoints, resistance rates to rifampicin/rifapentine/rifaximin were 60.4%/48.3%/38.2%, 28.1%/25.8%/23.6%, and 15.7%/16.9%/7.9%, respectively. However, the rifabutin MICs of all the tested H. pylori isolates were extremely low (≤0.016 mg/L). Applying MIC ≥ 0.125 mg/L as the breakpoint, rifabutin resistance was nil. No mutation was found in the rpoB gene sequences of the 2 isolates with high-level rifampicin resistance. CONCLUSIONS There is a lack of cross-resistance between rifabutin and other rifamycins in H. pylori. The use of rifampicin E-test to predict H. pylori rifabutin resistance is inappropriate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori eradication regimens should be guided by antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The objective of this study was to evaluate the molecular-based Mosprie assay for detecting H. pylori resistance to clarithromycin and levofloxacin using gastric biopsies. METHODS A total of 185 culture-positive frozen gastric biopsies were included for Mosprie assay and also for 23S rRNA and gyrA gene sequencing. The susceptibility results by the Mosprie assay were compared with the E-test results retrospectively retrieved. The discordant results were analyzed by sequencing of the 23S rRNA and gyrA genes. RESULTS Susceptibility concordance between the Mosprie assay and E-test for clarithromycin and levofloxacin was 97.30% (180/185) and 88.11% (163/185), respectively. The full agreement between clarithromycin genotypes by Mosprie assay and the 23S rRNA sequencing results was observed in the 5 samples with discordant Mosprie assay and E-test results. However, for levofloxacin, of the 16 discordant samples with resistant phenotype but a susceptible genotype by Mosprie assay, 6 were found to have levofloxacin resistance-related gyrA gene mutations. CONCLUSIONS The rapid and reliable Mosprie assay can be recommended for H. pylori susceptibility testing of clarithromycin and levofloxacin on gastric biopsies. Future technical improvements are needed in detecting levofloxacin resistance-associated gene mutations.

Abstract
Purpose Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the most common human bacterial infection worldwide, infecting approximately half of the world’s population. Although antibiotic use is indicated for H. pylori eradication, the recommended type of antibiotic varies from country to country according to the H. pylori resistance pattern; developing countries, such as Egypt, may have different patterns than developed countries. We evaluated the antibiotic resistance of H. pylori in Egypt. Methods This cross-sectional study included 134 adult patients with upper gastrointestinal (GI) complaints. Patients with a history of PPI during the last 2 weeks or antibiotics during the last 4 weeks before endoscopy were excluded. Upper GI endoscopies were performed and biopsies were collected for histopathology and H. pylori culture. Demographic, clinical, and endoscopic data were also collected. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing for H. pylori was performed for nine therapeutically relevant antibiotics using the Kirby–Bauer disc diffusion method. Results The H. pylori antibiotic resistance rates were as follows: moxifloxacin, 10%; doxycycline, 15%; levofloxacin, 20%; clarithromycin, 40%; azithromycin, 40%; erythromycin, 65%; rifampicin, 90%; amoxicillin, 95%; and metronidazole, 100%. Dual resistance rates were 40% for amoxicillin/clarithromycin, 40% for metronidazole/clarithromycin, and 95% for amoxicillin/metronidazole. Conclusion In Egyptian patients, H. pylori had >90% resistance to metronidazole and amoxicillin; modest resistance to erythromycin, azithromycin, and clarithromycin; and low resistance to moxifloxacin, and levofloxacin (≤20%). Dual resistance was high for amoxicillin/clarithromycin and amoxicillin/metronidazole, which prefers using quinolones rather than clarithromycin or metronidazole for first-line treatment of H. pylori in Egypt.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the effectiveness and safety of triple therapy containing berberine, amoxicillin, and rabeprazole in the eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). METHODS This prospective, randomized controlled, open-label, noninferiority trial included treatment-naive patients with H. pylori infection who were randomly allocated at a ratio of 1:1 into the berberine triple therapy group (berberine hydrochloride 300 mg thrice daily, amoxicillin 1 g twice daily, and rabeprazole 10 mg twice daily) or standard bismuth-containing quadruple therapy group (amoxicillin 1 g twice daily, rabeprazole 10 mg twice daily, clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily, and bismuth tartrate 200 mg twice daily) for 14 days. Negative 13 C/14 C-urea breath test at 4 weeks after completion of the therapy was regarded as successful eradication. RESULTS Altogether 262 and 262 patients received berberine triple therapy and bismuth-containing quadruple therapy, respectively. Both intention-to-treat (79.8% vs 80.9%, P = 0.742) and per-protocol analyses (83.6% and 85.1%, P = 0.636) showed comparable eradication rate between the two groups, indicating a noninferior eradication rate (the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval over -10% [-7.9% and -7.87%, respectively]). Adverse events more commonly occurred in the bismuth-containing quadruple-therapy group (8.8% vs 16.0%, P = 0.012), while patient compliance and symptom improvement of the two regimens were comparable. CONCLUSION Triple therapy containing berberine, amoxicillin and rabeprazole is noninferior to bismuth-containing quadruple therapy in the initial treatment for H. pylori eradication.

Abstract
Aim: Understanding the prevalence of antibiotic resistance can provide reliable information for selecting treatment options. The goal of this meta-analysis was to observe the primary antibiotic resistance of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in different regions and time periods of China. Method: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Chinese Biomedical databases and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure from inception to 20 February 2022. Data on the prevalence of H. pylori primary resistance at various time points were included. A random-effect model was established to calculate the pooled antibiotic resistance. Results: In total, 2150 articles were searched, with 70 meeting the inclusion criteria. The resistance to clarithromycin, metronidazole, levofloxacin amoxicillin, tetracycline and furazolidone in 2016–2020 were 34% (95% CI: 30–39%), 78% (95% CI: 73–84%), 35% (95% CI: 30–40%), 3% (95% CI: 1–5%), 2% (95%CI: 1–4%) and 1% (95% CI: 0–4%), respectively. Clarithromycin showed regional difference, as the resistance was higher in northern (37%, 95% CI: 32–41%) and western China (35%, 95% CI: 17–54%) than that in southern (24%, 95% CI: 17–32%) and eastern China (24%, 95% CI: 20–28%). Conclusion: The resistance of H. pylori to clarithromycin and metronidazole was high and increased over time, whereas resistance to levofloxacin, amoxicillin, tetracycline and furazolidone remained stable.

JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:6436256. [PMID: 35463681 PMCID: PMC9033385 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6436256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2022] [Revised: 03/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Objective The detection of Helicobacter pylori mutations that result in antimicrobial resistance can serve as a guideline of antimicrobial therapeutics and probably prevent the failure of clinical treatments. Evaluating the potential of Sanger sequencing to identify genetically resistant determinants in Helicobacter pylori clinical isolates will be important. Methods 180 cultured strains have been tested using agar dilution for antibiotic susceptibility. NCBI BLAST was used to perform genotypic analysis on the sequencing data. Sanger sequencing was evaluated as an alternative method to detect resistant genotypes and susceptibility. Results By the conventional E-test, resistance to levofloxacin, amoxicillin, metronidazole, and clarithromycin was 67.3%, 15.1%, 96.4%, and 25.5%, respectively. In contrast, tetracycline had no resistance. Resistance to multiple drugs was observed in 8.12% of the strains. The genetic determinants of resistance to CLA was 23s rRNA, the determinants of resistance to amoxicillin was Pbp1, the determinants of resistance to metronidazole was rdxA, and the determinants of resistance to levofloxacin were GyrA and GyrB. However, there was no association of resistance in tetracycline. Conclusion We found increased rates of metronidazole antibiotic resistance, highlighting the necessity for alternative therapies and periodic evaluation. Sanger sequencing has proved to be highly effective and holds the potential to be implemented in policies catering to local treatments.
