The Accuracy of Melting Curve-Based Multiplex Real-Time PCR for Diagnosing Helicobacter pylori Resistance to Clarithromycin and Levofloxacin in Stool Specimens.

Aims: This study evaluates the accuracy of melting curve-based multiplex real-time PCR (multiplex rt-PCR) on stool samples for diagnosing antibiotic resistance in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) compared to E-test and sequencing.

Methods: Gastric biopsies and stool samples were collected from 385 H.

Accelerated biological aging mediates the association between inflammatory markers with Helicobacter pylori infection and mortality.

Background: The aim of this study was to explore the systemic inflammation response in relation to mortality in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, and whether this relationship was mediated by accelerated biological aging.

Methods: This cross-sectional study encompassed U.

Association between non-insulin-based insulin resistance surrogate makers and Helicobacter pylori infection: a population-based study.

Background: Current evidence on the associations between insulin resistance (IR) and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between non-insulin-based surrogate markers of IR, including the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio, and the metabolic score for IR (METS-IR), and H.
