Abstract:

Objective To study the molecular characteristics of Helicobacter pylori virulence genotypes and the correlation with different Helicobacter pylori-infected gastroduodenal diseases. Methods A total of 514 gastric mucosa biopsy samples were collected.Helicobacter pylori was isolated. Ten kinds of specific probes for Helicobacter pylori virulence genotypes were designed and synthesized,and the specific virulence genes were detected. The correlation of Helicobacter pylori virulence genotypes and clinical characteristics [chronic superficial gastritis,chronic atrophic gastritis and peptic ulcer disease(PUD)] was analyzed. Results A total of 129 isolates of Helicobacter pylori were isolated from 514 gastric mucosa biopsy samples. Helicobacter pylori carried multiple kinds of virulence genotypes,such as cagA,vacAm1,m2 and s1),iceA1,iceA2,dupA,luxS and oipA. Genotype vacA s1m2 and the combined genotype iceA1+/iceA2+ had an increased risk for PUD. Genotype vacA s1m1 was a risk factor for chronic active gastritis,while dupA was closely associated with duodenal ulcer. Conclusions Helicobacter pylori isolated from Shanghai carrys many kinds of virulence genes,iceA1+/iceA2+ and vacA s1m2 maybe risk factors for PUD,and dupA could be considered as a duodenal ulcer-specific virulence marker.
