Unlabelled: Helicobacter pylori is one of the most popular bacteria in the world. The H. pylori infection is an etiological factor of permanent changes in inflammatory of stomach mucous membrane, peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum disease and stomach cancer or mucosa associated lymphoid tissue from lymphoid tissue of mucous membrane. The strain bacteria which produce the protein CagA and cytotoxin VacA belong to the more pathogenic strains. The most successful method of treatment for H. pylori infection is an eradication of the bacteria.
The Aim Of The Study: Was an evaluation of the influence which H. pylori genetic type (type I: CagA-positive, CagA-negative, VacA-positive, VacA-negative) has on efficacy of eradication therapy.
Material And Methods: 214 of patients over the third year of life with symptoms of dyspepsia, of the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract was performed and H. pylori infection was proved in histopathological or (and) urease test and urea breath test. H. pylori identification was performed using PCR method for biopsy specimens of the gastric mucosa, estimating genetic type of the bacteria (CagA-positive, CagA-negative, VacA-positive, VacA-negative). Triple-drug eradication therapy was introduced. The efficiency of this treatment was checked after 6 weeks with the breath test.
Results: The H. pylori infection was found in 101 patients (47.2%), 33 patients were infected with the strain type I (32.7%) and 68 patients (67.3%) with the strain type II. After the treatment the eradication of the infection was found at 71 patients (70.3%), lack of efficacy in H. pylori infection treatment was found at 30 patients (29.7%). Considerably higher percentage of eradicative infection was shown in the group of patients infected with the type II of H. pylori (76.5% vs. 58.8%, p < 0.04).
Conclusions: The effectiveness of eradication can be influenced by the genetic type of H. pylori. The better effects of eradicative treatment can be expected if one is infected with the strains of smaller virulence.

This case report presents a rare occurrence of Sarcina ventriculi in a 15-year-old male patient with a clinical history of renal failure due to chronic rejection status post kidney transplantation, with persistent symptoms of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. Despite exhibiting normal gastrointestinal mucosa upon endoscopy, biopsy analysis revealed chronic gastritis accompanied by the presence of Sarcina ventriculi in a tetrad arrangement across the stomach, duodenum, and distal esophagus. Interestingly, immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining targeting the Helicobacter pylori organism (H.

Introduction: Contamination of drinking water by can cause serious diseases, including cancer. The determinants of the infection rate are socioeconomic status, low standard of living and overcrowding. In addition, exposure to environmental sources contaminated with feces, such as water and vegetables, is another risk factor for infection.

Protein glycosylation has been considered as a fundamental phenomenon shared by all domains of life. In , glycosylation of flagellins A and B with pseudaminic acid have been rigorously confirmed and shown to be essential for flagella assembly and bacterial colonization. In addition to flagellins, several other proteins including RecA, AlpA/B, and BabA/B in have also been reported to be glycosylated and to be dependent on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthetic pathway.

Objectives: Fecal calprotectin (FC) is a marker commonly used in the diagnosis and follow-up of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). However, other gastrointestinal conditions, like H. pylori (HP) infection, can result in increased neutrophil activity as well.

Although the prevalence of infection has decreased among adults, it is still very common. Approximately 90% of gastric adenocarcinomas are associated with infection.
