Abstract:

Objective To study the drug resistance of Helicobacter pylori (HP) to common antibiotics and investigate the correlation of drug resistance and related gene mutations. Methods Gastric mucosa biopsy samples were collected from Huadong Hospital and Tongji Hospital, HP was isolated,and the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) to clarithromycin (CLA),metronidazole (MTZ),amoxicillin (AMX) and levofloxacin (LEV)were determined by E-test. Meanwhile,the related gene mutations were determined by gene sequencing,and the correlation of drug resistance and gene mutations was analyzed. Results A total of 129 HP isolates were isolated from 514 cases of gastric mucosa biopsy samples. Among them,68.6% isolates were resistant to 1 kind of antibiotic at least,and the drug resistance rates to CLA,MTZ and LEV were 19.8%,57.0% and 29.1%,respectively,while double- and triple-drug resistance rates were 23.3% (20 isolates)and 7.0%(6 isolates). The main drug resistance gene mutation loci were 23S rRNA(A2143G),rdxA(C148T),pbp1A(A1777G) andgyrA(C261A/G),and their mutation rates were 20.9%,7.0%,9.3% and 12.8%. Conclusions The drug resistance rate of HP is high in Shanghai,and drug susceptibility test should become a standard practice during the determination of HP for eradication. Furthermore,specific gene mutations are associated with drug resistance.
