- Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a common bacterium linked to chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer, with varying virulence and resistance factors, especially in India.
- A study analyzed the genomes of 143 H. pylori strains from eastern and southern India, revealing distinct regional differences in antibiotic resistance and virulence genes.
- Findings indicate lower resistance to amoxicillin and furazolidone in eastern strains, while resistance to metronidazole and clarithromycin is more prevalent; this suggests careful antibiotic use in eastern India and highlights the need for understanding local strain characteristics.
