The aim of this study was to assess the genetic status of cagA, vacA subtype and iceA genotypes of Helicobacter pylori and the relationship with upper gastrointestinal diseases in Northeast China. Gastric biopsies were obtained from 378 patients with upper gastrointestinal diseases and 197 samples were used. The cagA, vacA alleles and iceA genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction. CagA was present in 176 (89.3%) of 197 patients. Of the 197 cases, 186 (94.4%) had vacA signal sequence s1c allele, 6 (3%) had s1a and 5 (2.5%) had s1b. The vacA s2 genotype was not detected in our study. VacA middle region sequences, m1 and m2, were found in 20 (10.2%) and 150 (76.1%), respectively. The allelic variant iceA1 (70.1%) was more prevalent than iceA2 (23.4%). The vacA allele s1am2 had a significant relationship with the presence of gastric cancer (p<0.05) and the iceA1 genotype was also associated with gastric cancer (p<0.05). These may be useful risk factors for upper gastrointestinal diseases.

We explored the clinical-stage association of gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM) compared to cases of chronic non-atrophic gastritis (CNAG) and its relationship with virulence genotypes of () clinical isolates from patients with dyspepsia in Peru. This study was cross-sectional and included 158 clinical isolates; each isolate corresponded to a different Peruvian patient, genotyped by polymerase chain reaction to detect gene and EPIYA motifs, the gene (alleles , , , , , , , and subtypes , and ), the gene (alleles and ), and the gene (allele ). We observed that 38.

Even though Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a serious pathogen, its origin is unknown. Poultry (Chicken, Turkey, Quebec, Goose, and Ostrich) are consumed as a regular protein source by a large number of people across the world; therefore, sanitary ways of delivering poultry for food are important for global health.

Background: The most prevalent stomach infection in the world is caused by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Several pathogenicity genes, including cagA, vacA, babA2, dupA, iceA, and oipA, are associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal disease such as peptic ulcer and stomach cancer.
