| what constitutes an arabian helicobacter pylori? lessons from comparative genomics. | helicobacter pylori, the human gastric pathogen, causes a variety of gastric diseases ranging from mild gastritis to gastric cancer. while the studies on h. pylori are dominated by those based on either east asian or western strains, information regarding h. pylori strains prevalent in the middle east remains scarce. therefore, we carried out whole-genome sequencing and comparative analysis of three h. pylori strains isolated from three native arab, kuwaiti patients. | 2017 | 27277215 |
| quadruple therapy versus standard triple therapy for eradication of helicobacter pylori in kuwait. | chronic infection caused by helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) is associated with chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer. eradication of h. pylori reduces morbidity of chronic gastritis and incidence of gastric cancer in high-risk population. we aimed at testing the efficacy of clarithromycin-based triple therapy and bismuth-based quadruple therapy for eradicating h. pylori in patients with chronic gastritis in kuwait. | 2015 | 26611765 |

| distribution of vaca and caga genotypes of helicobacter pylori in kuwait. | there is considerable geographical variation in the distribution of allelic types of helicobacter pylori. this first study from kuwait determined the prevalence of caga and vaca genotypes among 117 unselected patients attending a gastroenterology center. we found that whereas vaca s1 and s2 types were equally likely to be present in biopsies obtained from patients of middle-eastern origin, african arabs were predominantly infected with s2 type and south-asians the s1 type. south asians most freq ... | 2005 | 15715995 |
