A2144G Is the Main Mutation in the 23S rRNA Gene of Helicobacter pylori Associated with Clarithromycin Resistance

Abstract: To detect point mutations A2115C, A2143G/C , and A2144G in the 23S rRNA gene of Helicobacter pylori associated with resistance of the microorganism to clarithromycin, a new powerful way of analysis was used. This method involved the reaction of minisequencing followed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry of reaction products. In ten analyzed clarithromycin-resistant clinical isolates of H. pylori obtained in Russia, the resistance was found to be mediated only by mutation A2144G in the 23S rRNA gene.

“…Mutation A2144G was found in an H. pylori isolate from Túquerres, with a frequency of 0.25 (1/4), which corroborates findings which suggest that the mutation is clearly associated with in vitro clarithromycin resistance[ 18 - 20 ]. It was found that the frequency in the sampled population in this study, is in line with the frequencies reported in other regions, 0.01 (1/73)[ 21 ] and 0.81(9/11)[ 20 - 23 ].…”

“…The mutations associated with clarithromycin resistance in the H. pylori isolates described in this study (A2144G, C2196T, and T2183C), are located in 23S rRNA gene V domain, as reported in the current literature[ 3 ]. Inhibition of the action of the macrolide may be due to spatial alterations in the V domain of 23S rRNA gene, which inhibit the target, as seen in transversion mutations A2143G, A2142G, A2142C[ 3 ], A2144G[ 18 , 19 , 22 ], where a nitrogenous base with two H groups (Adenine) is changed for another with three H groups (Guanine and Cytosine), with the inherent spatial alteration of the molecular structure, a phenomenon similar in transitions C2196T and T2183C[ 17 ].…”

“…International and national studies of point mutations related to clarithromycin resistance have been published. Momynaliev et al (30) reported that in 10 analyzed clarithromycin-resistant clinical isolates of H. pylori obtained in Russia, resistance was found to be mediated solely by the A2144G mutation in the 23S rRNA gene. The prevalence of each point mutation varies according to geographical area.…”

“…Other minisequencing protocols have been established to detect fluoroquinolone resistance related SNPs in N. gonorrhoeae [ 171 ], clarithromycin resistance in Helicobacter pylori [ 172 ], and rifampin and isoniazid-resistance in M. tuberculosis [ 173 ].…”
