Helicobacter pylori strains and histologically‐related lesions affect the outcome of triple eradication therapy: a study from southern Italy

Abstract: SUMMARYBackground: Certain evidence suggests that Helicobacter pylori strains expressing genes for cytotoxin production show a higher sensitivity than non-cytotoxic organisms to eradication treatment. No data are available on the involvement of bacterium-related lesions in different therapeutic outcomes. Aims: (i) To investigate whether differences in eradication rates may be related to the different expression of virulent strains (cagA, vacA, iceA) in patients undergoing proton pump inhibitor-based triple the… Show more

“…Therapeutic significance of gastritis topography for patients with peptic ulcer disease and non‐ulcer dyspepsia was not evident between the individual subgroups (Figure 3). Such differences have previously been described and may be related to the complex host and bacterial interactions 28, 29 . In this context, our results should be interpreted with caution because of the limited number of the included patients.…”

“…Therefore, this sequential schedule could significantly improve the effectiveness of treatment in comparison with current triple therapies (increase in eradication rate of 15–25%) with only a slight increase in cost (+ 4.63 euros per patient). Moreover, although the current literature reports that a smoking habit, 29 , 30 young age, 31 male sex 32 and histology 33 are predictors for H. pylori eradication failure, none appeared to affect the eradication efficacy of the sequential regimen, regardless of clarithromycin dosage.…”

“…Eighth, other virulence factors of H . pylori , such as dupA , oipA and iceA [2730]may also affect eradication outcomes. However, relatively few of these factors have been reported in the literature, which did not allow us to conduct a systematic meta-analysis of them.…”
