campylobacter pylori infection and its relation to chronic gastritis. an endoscopic, bacteriologic, and histomorphologic study.campylobacter pylori was isolated from 27 of 61 gastric antral biopsy specimens and from 8 of 61 duodenal biopsy specimens. a significant correlation between the occurrence of c. pylori and chronic active gastritis was demonstrated. however, the presence of the bacterium on normal mucosa weakens the theory of c. pylori as a primary causal organism. there was a significant correlation between isolation of c. pylori and erosive lesions in the antral mucosa as diagnosed by endoscopy. no correlation ...19883067331
the protective role of gastric acid.this paper reviews the relationship between gastric acid secretion and infection and the protective role of gastric acid as a primary bactericidal barrier and modulator of gastrin section. gastric acid is bactericidal at ph 3 or less, but reduction of acidity predisposes to infection with a wide variety of bacteria. bacterial infections or hyperpyrexia may be associated with a marked reduction in gastric acid secretion, and campylobacter pylori has been suggested as one cause of epidemic hypochl ...19883067334
the campylobacter pylori story.the campylobacter pylori story began before the turn of the century, with early works describing 'spirochaetes' in the gastric mucosa of animals. culture of the organism in 1982 enabled investigators to make sense of the many previous works concerning the microbiology, biochemistry, and histology of the gastric mucosa. whereas some physicians remain skeptical of c. pylori's pathogenic role, those who have studied the new organism believe it is a major gastrointestinal pathogen and see the possib ...19883067335

does the choice of acute treatment influence future ulcer relapse?despite the fact that the direct effect of drugs used for healing of ulcers does not last longer than hours, or at most a few days, some clinical studies have indicated that the rate of new ulcers after short courses of treatment depends on the drug used for healing. several studies have now shown that the development of new ulcers in the same, regardless whether active ulcers have been healed with antacids or histamine h2-receptor antagonists. this lack of difference in clinical outcome is very ...19883072664
campylobacter pylori.worldwide campylobacter pylori is a major cause of active chronic gastritis in man. this curved spiraled microorganism can readily be detected within the mucusgel especially in the antrum, in particular in patients suffering from peptic ulcer disease or non-ulcer dyspepsia, rarely in individuals with normal gastroduodenal mucosa. increasingly arguments are being presented in support of a pathogenetic role of c. pylori in non-ulcer dyspepsia and in peptic ulcer disease. there is a striking discor ...19883072666

campylobacter pylori: prospective analysis of clinical and histological factors associated with colonization of the upper gastrointestinal tract.the association of campylobacter pylori (c.p.) colonization of the upper gastrointestinal tract with five predefined anamnestic variables, seven symptoms of dyspepsia, and various blindly evaluated histological criteria, was prospectively investigated in a consecutive series of 149 patients submitted to upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy. colonization was determined by biopsy urease tests and histological searches. significant differences (p less than 0.05) between c.p.-positive and c.p.-neg ...19883133219
evaluation of a new selective medium for campylobacter pylori.contaminating bacteria from the oropharynx and bacteria that colonise the stomachs of patients with a high gastric ph impede the isolation of campylobacter pylori from gastric biopsy specimens. commercially available selective supplements are inhibitory to this organism and therefore a specific selective medium is needed for isolation. potential selective agents were evaluated for their activity against 97 strains of campylobacter pylori. a modification of skirrow's medium was developed; cefsulo ...19883141172
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of immunoglobulin a and g antibodies to campylobacter pylori.an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) employing an acid-glycine extract was used to detect igg and iga antibodies to campylobacter pylori in sera from 179 patients with upper gastrointestinal disease, 174 blood donors and 65 children. the incidence of positive elisa results clearly increased with the severity of histopathologic findings in the antrum mucosa and was also high in patients with peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. the incidence in blood donors and children was much lower and in ...19883141173
susceptibility of clinical isolates of campylobacter pylori to twenty-one antimicrobial agents.the mics of 21 antimicrobial agents were determined for 97 clinical isolates of campylobacter pylori. the beta-lactams (penicillin, ampicillin, cefoxitin and cephalexin), macrolides (erythromycin and azithromycin), quinolones (ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin), nitrofurans, gentamicin and tetracycline all had mic90 values of less than or equal to 0.5 mg/l. aztreonam, flucloxacillin, amifloxacin and rifampicin had moderate activity. all isolates were resistant to vancomycin, cefsulodin and amphoterici ...19883141174
comparison of different antigen preparations in an evaluation of the immune response to campylobacter pylori.this study presents a novel approach to the analysis of protein antigens of campylobacter pylori for use in serology. protein fractions of this bacterium were resolved in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, eluted from gel strips in an electric field and used for coating of microtiter plates in an elisa-type assay run with a small set of sera from both infected and non-infected patients. reactivity and discriminative power of the different fractionated antigens (1-9) and crude antigen preparatio ...19883141175
demonstration of a cytotoxin from campylobacter pylori.in order to determine if campylobacter pylori produces a cytotoxin, a study was performed using bacterial lysates from three clinical isolates of the organism. the lysates were cytotoxic for chinese hamster ovary cells, as determined by a microtiter assay. the lysates were also lethal for mice after intraperitoneal injection. loss of toxicity and lethality followed trypsinization, heating and acidification of cell-free lysates. it is concluded that the toxic factor(s) in campylobacter pylori may ...19883141176

histological aspects of campylobacter pylori colonisation and infection of gastric and duodenal mucosa.the main features of the histopathology of campylobacter pylori-associated gastritis are reviewed. the organism is strongly associated with the type b pattern of chronic gastritis. it colonizes the abnormal antrum and is not usually seen on the normal mucosa. however it fails to colonize the abnormal antrum in the type a gastritis of pernicious anaemia. when present in the duodenum it is in conjunction with severe duodenitis and gastric metaplasia. although the organisms are present in over 70% ...19883166530
pathogenetic implications of ultrastructural findings in campylobacter pylori related gastroduodenal disease.there is now substantial evidence that campylobacter pylori (cp) is able to colonize the gastroduodenal mucosa and is responsible for active chronic gastritis, its role in duodenitis, gastric ulceration and duodenal ulceration is still under debate. cp has a lot of characteristics which are prerequisites for a pathogen: the typical s-shape, the corkscrew-like movement and the powerful urease and protease enzymes. these features allow a rapid movement through the mucous layer to permit access to ...19883166531
possible pathogenetic pathways of campylobacter pylori in gastro-duodenal disease.the exact pathogenic mechanisms involved in campylobacter pylori associated gastro-duodenal inflammation are unclear. c. pylori adheres to gastric type epithelium and colonisation is associated with a number of ultrastructural abnormalities. other factors thought important include the marked bacterial urease activity, enzymatic degradation of the mucous layer and possible toxins. the induced inflammatory reaction will also contribute to tissue damage and a breakdown of normal defense mechanisms.19883166532
immune response of the gastric mucosa to campylobacter pylori.the histological features of non-autoimmune chronic gastritis are consistent with those of a local immune response by the gastric mucosa. if campylobacter pylori is causative in this condition, then the immune response will be in part specific for this organism. antibodies to c. pylori are present in the gastric juice of infected patients. coating of mucosal c. pylori by antibody in vivo can be demonstrated by immunohistochemistry, and a neutrophil infiltrate (active gastritis) is associated wit ...19883166533
an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the serodiagnosis of campylobacter pylori-associated gastritis.an elisa system, using an acid extractable cell surface c. pylori antigen, has been used to detect anti-c. pylori antibodies in 176 endoscoped patients. the antibody concentration was related to histological diagnosis and colonisation with campylobacter-like organisms. the criteria for sero-positivity was determined from the median antibody concentration in a group of 368 non-endoscoped control patients. the specificity and sensitivity of the sero-diagnostic assay for histological gastritis in a ...19883166534
prevalence of campylobacter pylori in duodenal and gastric mucosa--relationship to inflammation.endoscopic biopsies from 310 patients were studied for the presence of campylobacter pylori (cp). in the first group of 150 patients duodenal and antral biopsies were obtained and in the second (160 patients) biopsies were taken from various sites in the stomach including the antrum, incisura, body and fundus. in the duodenum there was a strong association with active inflammation and the presence of gastric metaplasia. cp were never seen in the normal duodenum. in the stomach cp presence was as ...19883166535
the efficacy of antimicrobial treatment in campylobacter pylori-associated gastritis and duodenal ulcer.the efficacy of various antimicrobial and anti-ulcer agents on the elimination of campylobacter pylori in duodenal ulcer patients was investigated. ranitidine, cimetidine, pirenzepine, aluminium phosphate gel as well as combinations of h2-receptor antagonists or pirenzepine + penicillin v, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, phenyl-mercuryborate or rifampicin had no influence on c. pylori in vivo. short term elimination of c. pylori was achieved in 3/15 patients treated with ranitidine + bacampicillin and ...19883166537
chronic erosive gastritis--a therapeutic approach with bismuth.37 patients with epigastric pain and chronic erosive gastritis underwent an open controlled therapeutic trial with bismuthsubsalicylate (bs). group a (21 patients) was treated with bs, liquid, 4 x 314 mg for three weeks, group b (16 patients) with bs tablets, 3 x 300 mg for two weeks. a significant reduction of symptoms (p less than 0.001) and endoscopically assessed chronic erosions (p less than 0.001) was achieved in both groups. campylobacter pylori was detected in 89% of the patients before ...19883166538
epidemiology of campylobacter pylori infection: ethnic considerations.a proper perspective of the association of campylobacter pylori with various diseases can be achieved only when the incidence of c. pylori infection in the normal population is known. we used the 13c urea breath test (a simple, specific, noninvasive, safe, and reproducible method to assess the presence of active c. pylori infection) to compare the frequency of c. pylori infection in healthy young adults from three areas of the world. we studied 26 women and 32 men (ages 20 to 29): 29 from the un ...19883166539
pharmacokinetic, bacteriological and clinical aspects on the use of doxycycline in patients with active duodenal ulcer associated with campylobacter pylori.seven patients with active duodenal ulcer and positive cultures for campylobacter pylori were given anti-ulcer treatment for 28 days with the addition of doxycycline for the last nine days. repeated endoscopy with biopsy for culture and doxycycline concentration determinations from the mucosa at the end of doxycycline therapy showed that five of seven patients remained positive in culture. the concentrations of doxycycline in biopsy material were 0.1 to 0.3 mg/kg in four patients; in three patie ...19883166544

relationship between campylobacter pylori and gastritis in healthy humans after administration of placebo or indomethacin.endoscopic and microscopic appearances of antral and fundic mucosa were correlated with the presence or absence of campylobacter pylori--and with plasma immunoglobulin g antibodies to that organism--in 23 healthy volunteers, 12 of whom had received indomethacin and 11 of whom had received no medication. antral c. pylori, found in 9 of 23 biopsy specimens (3 of 11 controls, 6 of 12 indomethacin-treated patients; not significantly different), correlated strongly with histologic evidence of active ...19883169487
isolation of a spiral-shaped bacterium from the cat stomach.a spiral- or helix-shaped bacterium that colonizes the stomachs of cats has been isolated in pure culture for the first time. the organism is tightly coiled with tufts of 10 to 17 polar flagella positioned slightly off center at the end of the cell. the body of the cell is entwined with unique periplasmic fibrils that usually occur in pairs, although groupings of one and three fibrils were also seen. the organism is strongly urease, catalase, and oxidase positive and is likely to belong to an as ...19883169989
gastric colonization by campylobacter pylori subsp. mustelae in ferrets.campylobacter pylori subsp. mustelae was cultured from both normal and inflamed gastric mucosa of ferrets. examination of neonatal, juvenile, and adult ferrets established that the gastric mucosa in the majority of preweanling (age, less than 6 weeks) ferrets sampled were not colonized with c. pylori subsp. mustelae, whereas the gastric mucosa of 100% of adult ferrets were colonized with this gastric organism. c. pylori subsp. mustelae was isolated from the gastric mucosa on a sequential basis f ...19883169994

the urease enzymes of campylobacter pylori and a related bacterium.the urease enzyme of campylobacter pylori was studied and compared with that of a related spiral-shaped bacterium, st1, isolated from the rodent ileum. both bacteria possessed constitutive urease enzymes with activities up to 20-70 times that of proteus vulgaris. this activity was retained on sds-polyacrylamide gels. a major catalytic subunit of mol. wt 300,000 was located for all (six) strains of c. pylori subjected to sds-page whereas st1 had two active forms of mol. wts 140,000 and 150,000. w ...19883172169
isolation of a gastric campylobacter-like organism from the stomach of four rhesus monkeys, and identification as campylobacter pylori.campylobacter-like organisms, isolated from the gastric antrum of rhesus monkeys, were compared with campylobacter jejuni and c. pylori. they were similar to c. pylori by light microscopy, in ultrastructural morphology, in enzymic, fatty-acid-methyl-ester, and protein-profile analysis, and in antigenic reactivity with rabbit antisera to c. jejuni and c. pylori and with c. pylori-specific monoclonal antibody. because this natural infection of the rhesus monkey is associated with chronic gastritis ...19883172170
immunoblot fingerprinting of campylobacter pylori.one hundred and fifty isolates of campylobacter pylori were divided into nine groups by immunoblot fingerprinting. all isolates were typable and reproducibility between immunoblots was good provided both antigen and antibody preparation were standardised. discrimination was a problem as groups 1 and 2 accounted for 66% of isolates. recurrence after bismuth treatment was due to indistinguishable strains in five patients and different strains in three patients.19883172174

campylobacter pylori and barrett's esophagus.campylobacter pylori is thought to be confined to gastric mucosa; when detected in the duodenum in association with duodenal ulceration, the organism infects only areas of gastric metaplasia. barrett's esophagus is a metaplastic condition of the esophagus, in which areas or islands of "gastric-type" epithelium are found. to determine whether c. pylori colonized the esophagus of patients with barrett's esophagus, we studied retrospectively 23 unselected patients who had endoscopic and biopsy evid ...19883199885
campylobacter pylori and barrett's esophagus.occurrence of c. pylori infection of mucosa outside of the stomach might provide an ideal opportunity to examine c. pylori-mucosal interactions apart from the effects of acid and pepsin. techniques previously used to examine barrett's epithelium (for example, special mucin stains or scanning and transmission electron microscopy) might be particularly useful for exploration of new associations and formulation of new hypotheses. whether c. pylori has a role in development of barrett's ulcer or ade ...19883199889
the use of serology to diagnose active campylobacter pylori infection.a serological test that predicts accurately active campylobacter pylori infection in the human stomach has been developed and validated by means of serum from 189 patients who were undergoing endoscopy in sydney. our enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) has a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 94%. an important part of the test is the inclusion of a simple absorption step with c. jejuni for those sera whose results are close to the cut-off point for positivity. this has been shown to ...19883200186
