Abstract
Despite the recent decrease in overall prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection, morbidity and mortality rates associated with gastric cancer remain high. The antimicrobial resistance developments and treatment failure are fueling the global burden of H. pylori-associated gastric complications. Accurate diagnosis remains the opening move for treatment and eradication of infections caused by microorganisms. Although several reports have been published on diagnostic approaches for H. pylori infection, most lack the data regarding diagnosis from a clinical perspective. Therefore, we provide an intensive, comprehensive, and updated description of the currently available diagnostic methods that can help clinicians, infection diagnosis professionals, and H. pylori researchers working on infection epidemiology to broaden their understanding and to select appropriate diagnostic methods. We also emphasize appropriate diagnostic approaches based on clinical settings (either clinical diagnosis or mass screening), patient factors (either age or other predisposing factors), and clinical factors (either upper gastrointestinal bleeding or partial gastrectomy) and appropriate methods to be considered for evaluating eradication efficacy. Furthermore, to cope with the increasing trend of antimicrobial resistance, a better understanding of its emergence and current diagnostic approaches for resistance detection remain inevitable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clarithromycin is a main component of the recommended first-line triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori in Egypt. We aimed in our study to investigate the prevalence of clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori strains due to the point mutations at domain V of the H. pylori 23S rRNA among the Egyptian population using the polymerase chain reaction/restricted fragment length polymorphism (PCR/RFLP) assay. METHODS Gastric biopsies obtained from 100 dyspeptic patients who consecutively attended at Cairo University Hospital during the period from January to November 2013 were subjected to PCR/RFLP in order to detect the point mutations at domain V of the H. pylori 23S rRNA associated with clarithromycin resistance. The PCR amplicon of the 23S H. pylori rRNA is restricted with MboII for detection of A2142G mutation and with BsaI for A2143G mutation. RESULTS The prevalence of H. pylori infection among 100 patients was 70%; clarithromycin resistance was detected in 39/70 (57.7%) of positive H. pylori isolates. Occurrence of 23S rRNA A2142G mutations resulted in two DNA fragments (418 and 350 bp) by PCR-RFLP; on the other hand, no A2143G mutations were detected. CONCLUSIONS The high prevalence of clarithromycin resistance (57.7%) caused by A2142G mutations at domain V of the H. pylori 23S rRNA may mandate changing of the standard clarithromycin-containing triple therapy. The PCR/RFLP assay was a rapid and accurate method for molecular detection of H. pylori infection in addition to determination of different nucleotide mutations causing clarithromycin resistance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Antimicrobial resistance of Helicobacter pylori is most important factor in eradication success. GenoType HelicoDR test has been developed for rapid detection of antimicrobial resistance. The present study evaluated the clinical usefulness of GenoType HelicoDR test in Korea. MATERIALS AND METHODS To detect 23S rRNA for clarithromycin resistance and gyrA mutations for fluoroquinolone resistance, both DNA sequencing after minimal inhibitory test (MIC) and GenoType HelicoDR test were performed in H. pylori isolates from the gastric mucosa of 101 patients. The eradication results of clarithromycin and moxifloxacin-containing triple therapy were evaluated by the 23S rRNA and gyrA mutations. RESULTS For 42 isolates with A2143G mutation by GenoType HelicoDR, 83.3% (35/42) of concordance rate was estimated with DNA sequencing method and 85.7% (36/42) for MIC test. For 43 isolates with N87K mutation by GenoType HelicoDR, 71.1% (31/43) of concordance rate was estimated with DNA sequencing and 88.4% (38/43) for MIC test. The sensitivity and specificity of GenoType HelicoDR test in determination of 23S rRNA mutation were 94.9% and 87.1%, and those of gyrA 98.2% and 80.0%. The sensitivity and specificity of GenoType HelicoDR test in determination of clarithromycin resistance based on MIC test were 55.0% and 80.0%, for fluoroquinolone 74.4% and 70.0%. CONCLUSION GenoType HelicoDR test is useful to determine mutations responsible for clarithromycin or fluoroquinolone-containing eradication failure but has a limitation for the clinical applicability in determination of resistance.

Abstract
Numerous diagnostic assays for Helicobacter pylori detection are available. However, these techniques have their own advantages as well as limitations. Here we tried to develop a real-time quantitative (Q) PCR assay to measure ureC copy number to detect H. pylori, based on the fact that there is only one copy of the ureC gene per bacterium. We enrolled 120 adult patients [non-ulcer dyspepsia (NUD) 60, peptic ulcer disease (PUD) 20, gastric cancer (GC) 40] undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopies. During each endoscopic examination, antral biopsies from normal region of the antrum were obtained and subjected to the following tests: RUT, culture, histopathology, H. pylori-specific ureC PCR and ureC Q-PCR. Calculation of H. pylori copy number was based on the standard curve generated using 10-fold dilutions of DNA extracted from the H. pylori control strain varying from 10(5) to 10(1) copies. The prevalence of H. pylori infection in our study population was 54% with no significant difference among disease and control population. The sensitivity of Q-PCR was found to be 100% which was highest among all diagnostic tests. The established Q-PCR is around 10 times more sensitive than the conventional PCR method. The copy number of H. pylori DNA was significantly increased when overall gastritis, H. pylori density, chronic inflammation and intestinal metaplasia were present. In summary, we developed a rapid and sensitive Q-PCR method for detecting H. pylori. This technique offers a significant improvement over other available methods for detecting H. pylori in clinical and research samples.

Real-time PCR improves Helicobacter pylori detection in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding. PLoS One 2011; 6:e20009. [PMID: 21625499 PMCID: PMC3098855 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0020009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2010] [Accepted: 04/19/2011] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Histological and rapid urease tests to detect H. pylori in biopsy specimens obtained during peptic ulcer bleeding episodes (PUB) often produce false-negative results. We aimed to examine whether immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR can improve the sensitivity of these biopsies. PATIENTS AND METHODS We selected 52 histology-negative formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded biopsy specimens obtained during PUB episodes. Additional tests showed 10 were true negatives and 42 were false negatives. We also selected 17 histology-positive biopsy specimens obtained during PUB to use as controls. We performed immunohistochemistry staining and real-time PCR for 16S rRNA, ureA, and 23S rRNA for H. pylori genes on all specimens. RESULTS All controls were positive for H. pylori on all PCR assays and immunohistochemical staining. Regarding the 52 initially negative biopsies, all PCR tests were significantly more sensitive than immunohistochemical staining (p<0.01). Sensitivity and specificity were 55% and 80% for 16S rRNA PCR, 43% and 90% for ureA PCR, 41% and 80% for 23S rRNA PCR, and 7% and 100% for immunohistochemical staining, respectively. Combined analysis of PCR assays for two genes were significantly more sensitive than ureA or 23S rRNA PCR tests alone (p<0.05) and marginally better than 16S rRNA PCR alone. The best combination was 16S rRNA+ureA, with a sensitivity of 64% and a specificity of 80%. CONCLUSIONS Real-time PCR improves the detection of H. pylori infection in histology-negative formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded biopsy samples obtained during PUB episodes. The low reported prevalence of H. pylori in PUB may be due to the failure of conventional tests to detect infection.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to evaluate a commercially available kit, MutaREAL Helicobacter pylori (Inmundiagnostik, Bensheim, Germany) real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for detection of H. pylori infection and point mutations in the 23S rRNA genes responsible for clarithromycin resistance in gastric biopsies. METHODS Gastric biopsies were obtained by endoscopy from pediatric patients with gastric symptoms, cultured according to standard microbiologic procedures, and clarithromycin resistance was determined by E-test. DNA extraction was performed by NucliSens platform with the NucliSens magnetic extraction reagents (bioMérieux, Marcy-l'Etoile, France) according to the manufacturer's instructions. MutaREAL kit was used according to manufacturer recommendations in a LightCycler (Roche Diagnostics Gmbh, Mannheim, Germany) for the detection of H. pylori infection and clarithromycin susceptibility. RESULTS Amplification was positive for H. pylori in 62 and negative in 44 biopsies out of 106 biopsies. All negative biopsies were positive for human beta-globin gene. This real-time PCR assay showed sensitivity of 93.33% (negative predictive value, 90.90%) and specificity of 86.95% (positive predictive value, 90.32%) for H. pylori detection. Clarithromycin resistance was detected in 26 cases by PCR with a sensitivity and specificity of 90.62 and 95.83, respectively. CONCLUSIONS MutaREAL kit was able to detect H. pylori and its clarithromycin susceptibility with high efficacy. This method is quicker than culture and is suitable to be done in 1 h after DNA extraction. The new system of automatic extraction will lead to reduction in the total time.

Abstract
The different invasive and noninvasive diagnostic tests for Helicobacter pylori have been applied mainly in emerging countries. Molecular methods have been developed, especially a test for detection of H. pylori and its clarithromycin resistance directly from stools. The long-term effects of eradication on histologic lesions have been studied in a meta-analysis and the prognostic value of post-treatment in gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma has been assessed. An operating link for gastritis assessment (the OLGA staging) has also been published. Attempts to simplify the urea breath test protocol have been made, and new stool antigen tests have been proposed and compared to those previously available.
