Unveiling the gastroprotective effect of the ethyl acetate fraction of Cordia africana Lam. roots against ethanol-induced gastric ulcer and Helicobacterpylori. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2025; 348:119841. [PMID: 40254109 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2025.119841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2025] [Revised: 04/07/2025] [Accepted: 04/18/2025] [Indexed: 04/22/2025]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Traditionally, Cordia africana Lam. roots, have been used in the treatment of gastro-intestinal complaints and the management of peptic ulcer diseases. AIM OF THE STUDY Quantitative determination of Cordia africana Lam. roots constituents was performed to investigate their phytochemical composition and their anti-ulcer mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cordia africana Lam. roots were subjected to extraction and fractionation. Antimicrobial activities of the extract and its factions were tested against Helicobacter pylori, and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was measured. Then, an in vivo ethanol-induced model in rats was performed (at two tested doses: 200 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg, and pantoprazol 10 mg/kg against ethanol 5 mL/kg by oral gavage) with subsequent histopathological analysis. Oxidative and gastric inflammatory markers were measured. The phytochemical profile was confirmed using quantitative High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Finally, molecular docking was performed to investigate the binding mode among the most abundant quantified compounds, viz., kaempferol, myricetin, naringenin, quercetin, and rosmarinic acid and three chosen proteins. RESULTS Among the tested fractions, Cordia africana ethyl acetate fraction (CAEt) gave the least MIC (7.82 μg/mL). Besides, at its high dose (400 mg/kg; orally), CAEt significantly reduced the ulcer number and severity by 26 % each, lowered malondialdehyde by 39 %, and increased glutathione and prostaglandin E2 levels by 92 % and 27 %, respectively, compared to pantoprazol. It exhibited similar potency to pantoprazol in decreasing tumor necrosis factor-alpha and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-1, while it significantly decreased nuclear factor-kappa B more than pantoprazol by 7 %. Nineteen compounds were quantified using HPLC, showing that phenolic compounds and flavonoids were the most abundant phytoconstituents. In-silico molecular docking screening revealed the interaction between the five most quantified compounds and nuclear factor kappa B, prostaglandin E2, and tumor necrosis factor alpha proteins. CONCLUSION CAEt possesses potent gastroprotective properties via the reduction of gastric ulcer severity, decreasing oxidative stress, and inflammatory markers in ethanol-induced stomach damage. CAEt could be a promising candidate for gastric ulcer treatment and further studies on gastric-related diseases.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative bacterium that colonizes the stomach of approximately half of the worldwide population, with higher prevalence in densely populated areas like Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, and Africa. H. pylori infections range from asymptomatic cases to potentially fatal diseases, including peptic ulcers, chronic gastritis, and stomach adenocarcinoma. The management of these conditions has become more difficult due to the rising prevalence of drug-resistant H. pylori infections, which ultimately lead to gastric cancer and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. In 1994, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) categorized H. pylori as a Group I carcinogen, contributing to approximately 780,000 cancer cases annually. Antibiotic resistance against drugs used to treat H. pylori infections ranges between 15% and 50% worldwide, with Asian countries having exceptionally high rates. This review systematically examines the impacts of H. pylori infection, the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance, and the urgent need for accurate diagnosis and precision treatment. The present status of precision treatment strategies and prospective approaches for eradicating infections caused by antibiotic-resistant H. pylori will also be evaluated.

Abstract
Macrocycles or medium-sized rings offer diverse functionality and stereochemical complexity in a well-organized ring structure, allowing them to fulfill various biochemical functions, resulting in high affinity and selectivity for protein targets, while preserving sufficient bioavailability to reach intracellular compartments. These features have made macrocycles attractive candidates in organic synthesis and drug discovery. Since the 20th century, more than three-score macrocyclic drugs, including radiopharmaceuticals, have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating bacterial and viral infections, cancer, obesity, immunosuppression, inflammatory, and neurological disorders, managing cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and more. This review presents 17 FDA-approved macrocyclic drugs during the past 5 years, highlighting their importance and critical role in modern therapeutics, and the innovative synthetic approaches for the construction of these macrocycles.

Abstract
Macrolides are a group of compounds used to treat bacterial infections in humans and animals. Their widespread use results in the contamination of the water environment, which, on the one hand, has a detrimental effect on aquatic organisms and, on the other hand, can lead to the emergence of resistant strains of microorganisms. All of the above determines the need for monitoring of these compounds in the environment, particularly, in water objects. Usually, the high-performance liquid chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry method is used to solve this problem, however, this work shows the possibility of using the supercritical fluid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. An approach for the determination of four common macrolides, namely erythromycin, clarithromycin, midecamycin, and josamycin, was developed. The use of solid-phase extraction allowed to achieve limits of quantification at 0.57-6.8 ng/L. The presented approach was validated and tested on a real object-a sample of municipal wastewater.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Polypharmacy, which uses multiple medications to treat chronic illnesses, is common among elderly patients. However, it can lead to drug interactions, especially with gastrointestinal (GI) medicines that are extensively used. These drug interactions can have severe consequences and pose a significant challenge to healthcare providers. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the underlying mechanisms of these interactions and develop strategies to minimize medication errors. AREAS COVERED We analyzed databases on GI illnesses common in older adults, including GERD, peptic ulcer disease, IBS, IBD, constipation, and diarrhea. Our research identified noteworthy drug interactions and utilized major electronic databases such as USFDA, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar until 15 May 202315 May 2023, along with a review of reference lists. EXPERT OPINION Aging can affect how the body processes drugs, leading to an increased risk of drug interactions. Therefore, healthcare professionals must carefully evaluate a patient's medical history and health condition to design personalized treatment plans.

Abstract
Drug carriers to deliver macrolide antibiotics, such as azithromycin, show promise as antibacterial agents. Macrolide drug carriers have largely focused on improving the drug stability and pharmacokinetics, while reducing adverse reactions and improving antibacterial activity. Recently, macrolides have shown promise in treating inflammatory conditions by promoting a reparative effect and limiting detrimental pro-inflammatory responses, which shifts the immunologic setpoint from suppression to balance. While macrolide drug carriers have only recently been investigated for their ability to modulate immune responses, the previous strategies that deliver macrolides for antibacterial therapy provide a roadmap for repurposing the macrolide drug carriers for therapeutic interventions targeting inflammatory conditions. This review describes the antibacterial and immunomodulatory activity of macrolides, while assessing the past in vivo evaluation of drug carriers used to deliver macrolides with the intention of presenting a case for increased effort to translate macrolide drug carriers into the clinic.

Abstract
The global rise in clarithromycin (Cla) resistance is considered to be the main contributor of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication failures. In nearly half of the Cla-resistant Hp infections, Cla-susceptible bacteria are simultaneously present with the Cla-resistant ones (Cla-heteroresistance). The proportion of resistant bacteria in the bacterial population (R-fraction) and its predictive role for the use of Cla-based therapies in Cla-heteroresistant infections has not yet been investigated. Our retrospective study analyzed gastric biopsy samples of 62 Hp-positive patients with Cla-heteroresistant infection. Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization technique was used to visualize the coexistence of resistant and susceptible bacteria within one tissue sample. R-fraction was quantified on multichannel microimages by digital morphometry. Resistant bacteria had a patchy distribution within the whole bacterial population causing high diversity among the investigated areas. Patients were subdivided into two major groups according to whether a Cla-based eradication attempt was conducted before or after the biopsy sampling. R-fraction was significantly lower among cases having only one previous Cla-based eradication attempt vs. those that had multiple previous eradications, including at least one Cla-containing therapy (0.41 vs. 0.89, p = 0.0308). Majority of the patients without previous eradication attempt had successful eradication with Cla-containing regimen (59.26%), verified by a negative 13C-urea breath test or control biopsy. Multivariable model indicated that the therapeutic outcome using Cla-based regimens depended on the bacterial density rather than the R-fraction. Our study raises the potential use of Cla-containing eradication therapies in certain Cla-heteroresistant Hp infections, taking into account the possible predictive role of bacterial density.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Checking Helicobacter pylori susceptibility tests in the clinical setting before first-line treatment is considered difficult. We compared susceptibility-guided therapy (SGT) with empirical therapy (ET) as a first-line treatment containing clarithromycin and investigated the eradication rate using antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). METHODS 257 patients with H. pylori infection, with AST, performed before the eradication of clarithromycin-containing regimens were enrolled and divided into two groups: the SGT and ET groups. RESULTS Eradication rates in the SGT and ET groups were 85.4% and 58.4% (P < 0.01), respectively. In triple therapy (TT), eradication rates of the SGT and ET groups were 85.1% and 56.6% (P < 0.01), respectively. In sequential therapy (SET), eradication rates of the SGT and ET groups were 86.2% and 65.6% (P = 0.06), respectively. According to AST, TT had an eradication rate of 84.6% with strains susceptible to clarithromycin and amoxicillin and 11.1% with strains resistant to both. SET had an eradication rate of 89.5% with strains susceptible to clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and metronidazole, whereas it was 0% with strains resistant to clarithromycin and metronidazole. CONCLUSIONS SGT as first-line treatment improved eradication rates of TT and SET by 28.5 (P < 0.01) and 20.6 (P = 0.06) percent points, respectively, compared with ET.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Disruption of protein synthesis, by drug-mediated restriction of the ribosomal nascent peptide exit tunnel (NPET), may inhibit bacterial growth. Here, we have studied the secondary and tertiary structures of domain V of the 23S rRNA in the wild-type and mutant (resistant) H. pylori strains and their mechanisms of interaction with clarithromycin (CLA). METHODS H pylori strains, isolated from cultured gastric biopsies, underwent CLA susceptibility testing by E test, followed by PCR amplification and sequencing of domain V of 23S rRNA. The homology model of this domain in H pylori, in complex with L4 and L22 accessory proteins, was determined based on the E. coli ribosome 3D structure. The interactions between CLA and 23S rRNA complex were determined by molecular docking studies. RESULTS Of the 70 H pylori strains, isolated from 200 dyspeptic patients, 11 (16%) were CLA-resistant. DNA sequencing identified categories with no (A), A2142G (B), and A2143G (C) mutations. Docking studies of our homology model of 23S rRNA complex with CLA showed deviated positions for categories B and C, in reference to category A, with 12.19 Å and 7.92 Å RMSD values, respectively. In both mutant categories, CLA lost its interactions at positions 2142 and 2587 and gained two new bonds with the L4 accessory protein. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that, in mutant H pylori strains, once the nucleotides at positions 2142 and 2587 are detached from the drug, CLA interacts with and is peeled back by the L4 accessory protein, removing the drug-imposed spatial restriction of the NPET.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Burdock complex (BC) constitutes of burdock (Arctium lappa), angelica (Angelica sinensis), gromwell (Lithospermum erythrorhizon), and sesame (Sesamum indicum) oil, which are commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for treating various disorders. This study intended to examine the anti-H. pylori activity of BC on AGS cell model as well as in asymptomatic H. pylori-infected subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS AGS cell incubated with H. pylori and treated with BC to evaluate the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC), cell viability (MTT) anti-adhesion activity, and inflammatory markers. In case of clinical trial, H. pylori-positive subjects (urea breath test [UBT] >10%, n = 36) were enrolled and requested to intake BC (n = 19) or placebo (n = 17) for 8 weeks. Antioxidant capacity, total phenol, UBT, inflammatory markers were analyzed at the initial, 4th, 8th, and 10th weeks. Moreover, the endoscopic examination was carried out on baseline and 10th week. RESULTS In vitro studies showed that BC treatment significantly inhibited (P < .05) the inflammatory markers and adhesion of H. pylori to AGS cell. However, H. pylori-infected subject ingested with BC for 8 weeks significantly decreased (P < .05) the UBT value, inflammatory markers with improved antioxidant activity, and phenolic levels as compared to placebo. Also, consumption of BC considerably healed the ulcer wound. CONCLUSION Overall, the BC could attenuate H. pylori infection by inhibiting H. pylori adhesion and subsequent inflammatory response on the gastric epithelial cell (AGS) as well as clinically ameliorated UBT, antioxidant capacity, and alleviated inflammation to display its anti-H. pylori activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal duration for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication therapy is controversial, with recommendations ranging from 7 to 14 days. Several systematic reviews have attempted to address this issue but have given conflicting results and limited their analysis to proton pump inhibitor (PPI), two antibiotics (PPI triple) therapy. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the optimal duration of multiple H. pylori eradication regimens. OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to assess the relative effectiveness of different durations (7, 10 or 14 days) of a variety of regimens for eradicating H. pylori. The primary outcome was H. pylori persistence. The secondary outcome was adverse events. SEARCH METHODS The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL were searched up to December 2011 to identify eligible randomised controlled trials (RCTs). We also searched the proceedings of six conferences from 1995 to 2011, dissertations and theses, and grey literature. There were no language restrictions applied to any search. SELECTION CRITERIA Only parallel group RCTs assessing the efficacy of one to two weeks duration of first line H. pylori eradication regimens in adults were eligible. Within each regimen, the same combinations of drugs at the same dose were compared over different durations. Studies with at least two arms comparing 7, 10, or 14 days were eligible. Enrolled participants needed to be diagnosed with at least one positive test for H. pylori on the basis of a rapid urease test (RUT), histology, culture, urea breath test (UBT), or a stool antigen test (HpSA) before treatment. Eligible trials needed to confirm eradication of H. pylori as their primary outcome at least 28 days after completion of eradication treatment. Trials using only serology or a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to determine H. pylori infection or eradication were excluded. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Study eligibility and data extraction were performed by two independent review authors. Data analyses were performed within each type of intervention, for both primary and secondary outcomes. The relative risk (RR) and number needed to treat (NNT)/number needed to harm (NNTH) according to duration of therapy were calculated using the outcomes of H. pylori persistence and adverse events. A random-effects model was used. Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses were planned a priori. MAIN RESULTS In total, 75 studies met the inclusion criteria. Eight types of regimens were reported with at least two comparative eligible durations. They included: PPI + two antibiotics triple therapy (n = 59), PPI bismuth-based quadruple therapy (n = 6), PPI + three antibiotics quadruple therapy (n = 1), PPI dual therapy (n = 2), histamine H2-receptor antagonist (H₂RA) bismuth quadruple therapy (n = 3), H₂RA bismuth-based triple therapy (n = 2), H₂RA + two antibiotics triple therapy (n = 3), and bismuth + two antibiotics triple therapy (n = 2). Some studies provided data for more than one regimen or more than two durations.For the PPI triple therapy, 59 studies with five regimens were reported: PPI + clarithromycin + amoxicillin (PCA); PPI + clarithromycin + a nitroimidazole (PCN); PPI + amoxicillin + nitroimidazole (PAN); PPI + amoxicillin + a quinolone (PAQ); and PPI + amoxicillin + a nitrofuran (PANi). Regardless of type and dose of antibiotics, increased duration of PPI triple therapy from 7 to 14 days significantly increased the H. pylori eradication rate (45 studies, 72.9% versus 81.9%), the RR for H. pylori persistence was 0.66 (95% CI 0.60 to 0.74), NNT was 11 (95% CI 9 to 14). Significant effects were seen in the subgroup of PCA (34 studies, RR 0.65, 95% CI 0.57 to 0.75; NNT 12, 95% CI 9 to 16); PAN (10 studies, RR 0.67, 95% CI 0.52 to 0.86; NNT = 11, 95% CI 8 to 25); and in PAQ (2 studies, RR 0.37, 95% CI 0.16 to 0.83; NNT 3, 95% CI 2 to 10); but not in PCN triple therapy (4 studies, RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.71 to 1.07). Significantly increased eradication rates were also seen for PPI triple therapy with 10 versus 7 days (24 studies, 79.9% versus 75.7%; RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.72 to 0.89; NNT 21, 95% CI 15 to 38) and 14 versus 10 days (12 studies, 84.4% versus 78.5%; RR 0.72, 95% CI 0.58 to 0.90; NNT 17, 95% CI 11 to 46); especially in the subgroup of PAC for 10 versus 7 days (17 studies, RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.70 to 0.91) and for 14 versus 10 days (10 studies, RR 0.69, 95% CI 0.52 to 0.91). A trend towards increased H. pylori eradication rates was seen with increased duration of PCN for 10 versus 7 days, and of PAN for 10 versus 7 days and 14 versus 10 days, though this was not statistical significant. The proportion of patients with adverse events, defined by authors, was marginally significantly increased only between 7 days and 14 days (15.5% versus 19.4%; RR 1.21, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.37; NNTH 31, 95% CI 18 to 104) but not for other duration comparisons. The proportion of patients discontinuing treatment due to adverse events was not significantly different between treatment durations.Only limited data were reported for different durations of regimens other than PPI triple therapy. No significant difference of the eradication rate was seen for all regimens according to different durations except for H₂RA bismuth quadruple therapy, where a significantly higher eradication rate was seen for 14 days versus 7 days, however only one study reported outcome data. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Increasing the duration of PPI-based triple therapy increases H. pylori eradication rates. For PCA, prolonging treatment duration from 7 to 10 or from 10 to 14 days is associated with a significantly higher eradication rate. The optimal duration of therapy for PCA and PAN is at least 14 days. More data are needed to confirm if there is any benefit of increasing the duration of therapy for PCN therapy. Information is limited for regimens other than PPI triple therapy; more studies are needed to draw meaningful conclusions for optimal duration of other H. pylori eradication regimens.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of various berry extracts, with and without clarithromycin on Helicobacter pylori. Resistance to clarithromycin by H. pylori has been reported, leading to interest in alternatives/adjuncts to therapy with clarithromycin. H. pylori American type culture collection (ATCC) strain 49503 was grown, cell suspensions were made in PBS and diluted 10-fold. One hundred microL of the suspension was then incubated for 18 h with extracts of raspberry, strawberry, cranberry, elderberry, blueberry, bilberry, and OptiBerry, a blend of the six berries, at 0.25-1% concentrations. Serially diluted cell suspensions were exposed for 1 h to clarithromycin at 15 microg/ml. Ten microl of bacterial samples from the 10(-7) dilution tube were plated and incubated for 18 h and the number of colonies were counted. Growth of H. pylori was confirmed by the CLO test. All berry extracts significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited H. pylori, compared with controls, and also increased susceptibility of H. pylori to clarithromycin, with OptiBerry demonstrating maximal effects.

Abstract
The conventional view of gastric acid secretion is that a negative feedback mechanism arises in response to high acidity, such that somatostatin keeps G-cells and parietal cells from producing more gastrin and acid, respectively. When the stomach becomes infected, for example with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), the feedback mechanism is impaired. In animal models, our laboratory has demonstrated that other types of bacteria besides H. pylori can cause gastritis. For example, under conditions of low acidity, gastritis is secondary to bacterial overgrowth, not production of excessive acid, thus suggesting a new paradigm for the regulation of gastric acid secretion under inflammatory conditions. Cytokines, released during the gastric inflammatory response, including IFN gamma, TNF alpha and IL-1 beta stimulate the G-cell to produce gastrin. Gastrin in turn triggers the release of acid, and hypergastrinemia suppresses somatostatin, the inhibitor of acid. The overall response results in maximal gastric acid output that acts as the stomach's most important anti-microbial agent. The increased acid secretion by the stomach in the presence of H. pylori seems to be part of the innate immune response, in that gastrin and somatostatin are reciprocally regulated by Th1 or Th2 cytokines, respectively. In a mouse model, we showed that octreotide, a somatostatin, analog, is an efficacious treatment for Helicobacter gastritis. In humans, octreotide might accelerate recovery from H. pylori infection, reducing the duration of antibiotic therapy.

Abstract
Increasing resistance to currently used antimicrobials has resulted in the evaluation of other agents that have antimicrobial activity against Helicobacter pylori. H. pylori American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) strain 49503 (a toxin-producing strain known to be associated with gastric cancer) was grown, a cell suspension prepared in 2 mL PBS and diluted 10-fold. One hundred microL of this cell suspension was added to vitamin C 0.5%, vitamin E 0.5%, garcinol 100 microg/mL, Protykin (containing 50% trans-resveratrol) 100 microg/mL and garcinol + Protykin 100 microg/mL in Lennox broth, and incubated for 16 h under microaerophilic conditions. Three replicates of 10 microL from each 10(-7) dilution tube were plated, colonies were counted after 16 h, and growth of H. pylori was confirmed by the CLO test. These colony counts were compared to control cultures without the addition of any antioxidants. The experiments were then repeated with the addition of 15 microg/mL of clarithromycin to experimental and control samples. Enhanced killing of H. pylori by 37.6% was noted when vitamin C was added, which increased to 66% when clarithromycin was added, compared to controls (p < 0.05). With garcinol and Protykin alone there was 91.4 and 87% killing of H. pylori, respectively, while a combination of garcinol + Protykin resulted in 90.8% killing compared to controls (p < 0.05). When clarithromycin was added, there was 76.3% increased killing with garcinol alone, 55.3% with Protykin alone, and 73.7% with garcinol + Protykin compared to controls (containing clarithromycin) (p < 0.05). Vitamin E had no effect on H. pylori growth compared to controls. We conclude from this study that some antioxidants such as vitamin C, garcinol and Protykin, but not vitamin E, may have potential as antimicrobial agents against H. pylori.

Abstract
Chronic infection with Helicobacter pylori causes peptic ulcers, gastric cancer and lymphoma. We evaluated the inhibitory effects of the probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1J, the antibiotic clarithromycin and the natural antioxidants garcinol and Protykin (containing 50% trans-resveratrol) on Helicobacter pylori strain ATCC 49503. The findings of this study indicate that Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1J exerts a growth inhibitory effect on H. pylori at a ratio of 1:1 or higher in vitro. In the case of clarithromycin, garcinol and resveratrol, the bactericidal effect is time and concentration dependent. Clarithromycin completely inhibited growth at > or = 62.5 microg/ml at 6 h and at > or = 31.5 microg/ml at 12 h. For garcinol the highest concentration needed for complete inhibition was 31.5 microg/ml at 6 h and 3.9 microg/ml after 12 h incubation. For resveratrol, significant inhibition was noted at 1000 microg/ml at 12 h only. The bactericidal effect of garcinol was reduced by the addition of resveratrol at all concentrations < or = 125 microg/ml at 6 and 12 h. We conclude from this study that Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1J inhibits H. pylori at 1:1 and higher ratios. Also, between the two antioxidants, garcinol is much more potent than resveratrol as a bactericidal agent against H. pylori, and that resveratrol may antagonize this effect. Finally, our study showed equivalent or better bactericidal activity of garcinol compared to clarithromycin against H. pylori at 6 and 12 h incubation, indicating a potential role for this antioxidant in treatment for H. pylori infection.

Abstract
AIM: The widespread use of antibacterial therapy has been suggested to be the cause for the decline in the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection. This study examine the serial changes of urea breath test results in a group of hospitalized patients who were given antibacterial therapy for non-gastric infections.
METHODS: Thirty-five hospitalized patients who were given antibacterial therapy for clinical infections, predominantly chest and urinary infections, were studied. Most (91%) patients were given single antibiotic of either a penicillin or cephalosporin group. Serial 13C-urea breath tests were performed within 24 h of initiation of antibiotics, at one-week and at six-week post-therapy. H. pylori infection was diagnosed when one or more urea breath tests was positive.
RESULTS: All 35 patients completed three serial urea breath tests and 26 (74%) were H. pylori-positive. Ten (38%) H. pylori-infected patients had at least one negative breath test results during the study period. The medium delta 13C values were significantly lower at baseline (8.8) than at one-week (20.3) and six-week (24.5) post-treatment in H. pylori-positive individuals (P = 0.022). Clearance of H. pylori at six-week was only seen in one patient who had received anti-helicobacter therapy from another source.
CONCLUSION: Our results suggested that one-third of H. pylori-infected individuals had transient false-negative urea breath test results during treatment with antibacterial agent. However, clearance of H. pylori infection by regular antibiotic consumption is rare.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori appears to be a necessary cofactor for the majority of non-drug-associated duodenal and gastric ulcers. H. pylori infection is a chronic and transmissible infectious disease whose eradication has proved difficult. The last decade has seen > 1000 clinical trials using different eradication regimens. Many of these trials had severe limitations, some of which will be discussed here. The current review also focuses on the regimens that were used in the past, the present regimens and possibilities for the future. Also highlighted are some other aspects of H. pylori management, such as eradication failures and drug resistance.

Abstract
Up to 35% of patients infected with Helicobacter pylori fail to respond to standard anti-H. pylori therapy. With the rising prevalence antimicrobial resistance, the failure rates of conventional proton pump inhibitor-containing triple therapy are expected to increase. Pretreatment antibiotic resistance testing should be done whenever possible to allow for tailoring of the treatment regimens. The data on second-line or rescue therapy are limited and usually are subjected to various biases and confounding factors. Switching between clarithromycin and metronidazole should be considered if repeated courses of proton pump inhibitor-containing triple therapy are used as second-line therapy in the absence of antimicrobial sensitivity testing. The prolongation of therapy duration with proton pump inhibitor, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin is ineffective for clarithromycin-resistant strains. The bismuth-containing quadruple therapy is the best salvage treatment in the absence of pretreatment antibiotic susceptibility. Furazolidone quadruple therapy (where available) and rifabutin triple therapy are salvage therapies of last resort. If these regimens fail, culture and susceptibility testing is required.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is a Gram-negative bacteria able to live in the human stomach, a very surprising fact considering the acid environment of gastric mucosa. Identified by Marshall and Warren in 1982 [1,2], this bacterium seems aetiologically related to many gastric diseases, previously known as 'acid related diseases'. Compelling evidence demonstrates that Hp is the most important aetiological agent of gastritis [3], the principal causal factor in peptic ulcer [4], contributes to the genesis of gastric cancer [5] and has a critical role in the development of many mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas [6]. Although experimental data have recently provided hard evidence to support the role of Hp in the genesis of gastritis, ulcer and carcinoma [7], a critical argument for Hp generating peptic ulcer disease has been, in fact, the change in the natural history of peptic ulcer that follows the cure of the infection.
