Despite extensive studies on the gastric microbiota, including Helicobacter pylori and non-H. pylori, the bacterial composition in children remains unknown. In this study, we analyzed the culturable gastric bacteria in stomach biopsies from 346 children aged 1-15 years affected by gastric diseases. H. pylori and non-H. pylori were identified by specific PCR and 16S rDNA sequencing, respectively. Antibiotic susceptibilities of H. pylori and non-H. pylori were tested by the E-test and disk diffusion methods, respectively. Rapid diagnosis was also performed by H. pylori-specific PCR. Twenty-two H. pylori strains were obtained from culture, and 92 biopsies were positive by H. pylori-specific PCR. The positive rate was higher in boys (40.3%) than in girls (23.3%) (P = 0.001). Resistance rates of 22 H. pylori strains were as follows: metronidazole, 86.4%; tetracycline, 22.7%; amoxicillin, 22.7%; levofloxacin, 31.8%; clarithromycin, 36.4%. Ten isolates were multidrug-resistant. Additionally, among 366 non-H. pylori strains, 204 exhibited urease activity. Non-H. pylori resistance rates were as follows: metronidazole, 94.8%; tetracycline, 26.2%; amoxicillin, 42.6%; levofloxacin, 15.3%; clarithromycin, 46.7%. Our results showed that children with gastric disorders harbor stomach bacteria with urease activity or nitrate reductase activity. Further studies will determine the effects of non-H. pylori bacteria in gastric diseases.

Epidemiological and eradication trial evidence indicates that , a major causative factor in peptic ulcer and gastric cancer, is a driver of the hypokinesia of Parkinson's disease (PD). Psychological (cognitive impairment, depression and anxiety) and gastrointestinal (peptic ulceration and constipation) PD features can precede the symptomatic onset of motor features by decades. We hypothesise that the non- (NHPH), which have farm, companion and wild animals as their main hosts, can have a role in PD aetiopathogenesis.

Article Synopsis
- - Gastric cancer is a major health issue in China, with higher rates than in Western countries, largely due to Helicobacter pylori infections.
- - New research is revealing the role of non-H. pylori bacteria in the stomach, changing how we think about the causes of gastric cancer.
- - These findings are expected to influence future approaches to screening and preventing gastric cancer in at-risk populations.

Article Synopsis
- - Studies indicate a strong link between the microbiota and gastric cancer (GC), showing that patients with GC have significantly different gastric microbiota compared to non-cancer patients, which suggests that these microbes may contribute to GC development.
- - While certain infections, like () infection, are well-known risk factors for GC, recent research highlights that non-microbes also play a crucial role in the disease's progression and can lead to precancerous lesions.
- - Novel diagnostic technologies, such as PCR and genetic testing, are being used to identify microbial markers associated with precancerous lesions in the stomach, aiming to uncover new strategies for the prevention and treatment of these lesions.

Background: () is a gram-negative gastrointestinal pathogen that colonises the human stomach and is considered a major risk factor for gastric cancer and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. Furthermore, is a potential trigger of a wide spectrum of extragastric cancer entities, extraintestinal chronic inflammatory processes and autoimmune diseases. In the present study, we evaluated the association between infection and its eradication with the development of subsequent gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal cancer.
