Crosstalk between Helicobacter pylori and gastrointestinal microbiota in various gastroduodenal diseases-A systematic review. 3 Biotech 2023; 13:303.

Abstract
Gastroduodenal diseases have prevailed for a long time and more so due to dominance of gut bacteria Helicobacter pylori in most of the cases. But habitation by other gut microbiota in gastroduodenal diseases and the relationship between Helicobacter pylori and gastrointestinal microbiota in different gastroduodenal diseases is somewhat being unravelled in the current times. For this systematic review, we did a literature search of various gastroduodenal diseases and the effect on gut microbiota pertaining to it. A search of the online bibliographic databases PUBMED and PUBMED CENTRAL was carried out to identify articles published between 1977 and May 2022. The analysis of these selected studies highlighted the inhabitation of other gut microbiota such as Fusobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Streptococcaceae, Prevotellaceae, Fusobacteriaceae, and many others. Interplay between these microbiota and H. pylori have also been noted which suggested that gastroduodenal diseases and gut microbiota are intertwined by a symbiotic association regardless of the H. pylori status. The relationship between the gut microbiota and many gastroduodenal diseases, such as gastritis, gastric cancer, lymphomas, and ulcers, demonstrates the dysbiosis of the gut microbiota in both the presence and absence of H. pylori. The evolving ways for eliminating H. pylori are provided along with inhibiting qualities of other species on H. pylori. Most significant member of our gut system is Helicobacter pylori which has been associated with numerous diseases like gastric cancer, gastritis, duodenal ulcer.

Abstract
Background Helicobacter pylori is a pathogenic bacteria that colonize the gastrointestinal tract from human stomachs and causes diseases including gastritis, peptic ulcers, gastric lymphoma (MALT), and gastric cancer, with a higher prevalence in developing countries. Its high genetic diversity among strains is caused by a high mutation rate, observing virulence factors (VFs) variations in different geographic lineages. This study aimed to postulate the genetic variability associated with virulence factors present in the Helicobacter pylori strains, to identify the relationship of these genes with their phylogeographic origin. Methods The complete genomes of 135 strains available in NCBI, from different population origins, were analyzed using bioinformatics tools, identifying a high rate; as well as reorganization events in 87 virulence factor genes, divided into seven functional groups, to determine changes in position, number of copies, nucleotide identity and size, contrasting them with their geographical lineage and pathogenic phenotype. Results Bioinformatics analyses show a high rate of gene annotation errors in VF. Analysis of genetic variability of VFs shown that there is not a direct relationship between the reorganization and geographic lineage. However, regarding the pathogenic phenotype demonstrated in the analysis of many copies, size, and similarity when dividing the strains that possess and not the cag pathogenicity island (cagPAI), having a higher risk of developing gastritis and peptic ulcer was evidenced. Our data has shown that the analysis of the overall genetic variability of all VFs present in each strain of H. pylori is key information in understanding its pathogenic behavior.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a microaerophilic, Gram-negative, human gastric pathogen found usually in the mucous lining of stomach. It infects more than 50% of the world’s population and leads to gastroduodenal diseases. The outcome of disease depends on mainly three factors: Host genetics, environment and bacterial factors. Among these, bacterial virulence factors such as cagA, vacA are well known for their role in disease outcomes. However, based on the global epidemiological results, none of the bacterial virulence (gene) factors was found to be associated with particular diseases like duodenal ulcer (DU) in all populations. Hence, substantial importance has been provided for research in strain-specific genes outside the cag pathogenicity island, especially genes located within the plasticity regions. dupA found within the plasticity regions was first demonstrated in 2005 and was proposed for duodenal ulcer development and reduced risk of gastric cancer in certain geographical regions. Due to the discrepancies in report from different parts of the world in DU development related to H. pylori virulence factor, dupA became an interesting area of research in elucidating the role of this gene in the disease progression. In this review, we shed light on the detailed information available on the polymorphisms in dupA and their clinical relevance. We have critically appraised several pertinent studies on dupA and discussed their merits and shortcomings. This review also highlights dupA gene as an important biomarker for DU in certain populations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intra-familial infection, mother-to-child infection, is considered to be one of the main routes of transmission for Helicobacter pylori, in developed countries such as Japan. A major role for intra-familial spread in the pathogenicity of H. pylori is now beyond controversy, although the major route of transmission remains poorly understood. We performed this study to clarify the factors determining intra-familial transmission. METHODOLOGY We used several H. pylori strains isolated from family members to compare infectivity. H. pylori K21 and K22 strains were isolated from the father and mother, and the K25 strain was isolated from the third child of the family. Mongolian gerbils were inoculated with H. pylori strains and the infectivity of three strains was compared in each experiment. In addition, the whole genome sequence, adhesion to gastric epithelial cells and the growth of static condition or continuous flow culture among three strains of H. pylori were analysed.Results/Key findings. Most of the colonies were determined as the same molecular type K25 in all of the four grouped animals and H. pylori K25 was observed as the dominant strain. The stronger adhesion capacity of the K25 strain was observed in comparison with the other two strains through in vitro analysis. By assessing the genomic profiles of H. pylori isolates from three strains, identified TnPZ regions were detected only in the K25 strain. CONCLUSION The infectivity of H. pylori isolates intra-familial infection and animal infection were prescribed by the adhesion capacity and molecular type of each strain.

Abstract
The genome of Helicobacter pylori contains many putative genes, including a genetic region known as the Integrating Conjugative Elements of H. pylori type four secretion system (ICEHptfs). This genetic regions were originally termed as "plasticity zones/regions" due to the great genetic diversity between the original two H. pylori whole genome sequences. Upon analysis of additional genome sequences, the regions were reported to be extremely common within the genome of H. pylori. Moreover, these regions were also considered conserved rather than genetically plastic and were believed to act as mobile genetic elements transferred via conjugation. Although ICEHptfs(s) are highly conserved, these regions display great allele diversity, especially on ICEHptfs4, with three different subtypes: ICEHptfs4a, 4b, and 4c. ICEHptfs were also reported to contain a novel type 4 secretion system (T4SS) with both epidemiological and in vitro infection model studies highlighting that this novel T4SS functions primarily as a virulence factor. However, there is currently no information regarding the structure, the genes responsible for forming the T4SS, and the interaction between this T4SS and other virulence genes. Unlike the cag pathogenicity island (PAI), which contains CagA, a gene found to be essential for H. pylori virulence, these novel T4SSs have not yet been reported to contain genes that contribute significant effects to the entire system. This notion prompted the hypothesis that these novel T4SSs may have different mechanisms involving cag PAI.

Abstract
As Helicobacter pylori infects half the world's population and displays an extensive intraspecies diversity, genomics is a powerful tool to understand evolution and disease, to identify factors that confer higher risk of severe sequelae, and to find new approaches for therapy both among bacterial and host targets. In line with these objectives, this review article summarizes the major findings in Helicobacter genomics in papers published between April 2016 and March 2017.
