"Helicobacter pylori is a globally significant pathogen that infects half of the population of the world. Its recognition enabled the development of new therapeutic and preventative strategies for serious health conditions such as gastric cancer, of which it is the major causative agent. Providing a broad overview of the current understanding of this pathogen and emphasizing its world health impacts, this book explores a range of topics including virulence factors, vaccine development and obstacles, epidemiology, antibiotic resistance and the role of Nod receptors, with a foreword by Barry Marshall, the Nobel Laureate and co-discoverer of H. pylori. It is an essential resource for researchers, students and medics in infectious and Helicobacter-associated diseases."

Background: To eradicate Helicobacter pylori infection, physician administered clarithromycin and amoxicillin plus proton pump inhibitor during 10-14 days.

Antimicrobial resistance is known as the major cause of treatment failure. The

prevalence of Helicobacter pylori resistant strains against Amoxicillin in Indonesia was5,2% in 2016. Several studies in amoxicillin-resistant H.pylori strains had shown multiple point mutation in the pbp1 gene. Molecular method as an alternative tool was chosen due to the difficulties in cultivate H.pylori in a synthetic media.

Aim: This research was aimed to develop H.pylori resistance detection tests using pbp 1 gene.

Methods: The study was a retrospective study, with 54 histopathology of H.pylori

positive samples obtained from patients at RSUPN dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo between

2017 to 2019. Real-time PCR tests were used to screen the samples before proceeded to nested PCR and obtained the pbp1 gene for sequencing.

Results: After the initial real-time PCR, 34 H.pylori positive samples were included in the study. From 34 samples of paraffin block only five specimens with positive pbp 1 genes, but only four samples can be analyzed after sequencing. The results found five sequences (sequences 21, 1, 27, 32A dan 32B), also found three amino acid mutation points (Lys648Gln, Arg649Lys, Arg656Pro) which were found only in amoxicillinresistant H.pylori strains. The four samples were collected from patients with antrum gastric tumor suspected as malignancy, gastric ulcer, chronic gastritis, and family history of H. pylori infection.

Conclusion: Molecular approach to detect pbp 1 gene encoding for amoxicillin

resistance could be used as an alternative of antibiotic susceptibility test. The multiple point mutations found in this reseach were in accordance with the amoxicillin-resistant H.pylori strains in Korea."

"ABSTRAKPrevalensi H.pylori di Indonesia berbeda pada masing-masing daerah dan etnis di Indonesia. Prevalensi, faktor virulensi dan faktor risiko infeksi H.pylori di Indonesia timur belum banyak diketahui. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendapatkan data prevalensi infeksi H.pylori, faktor virulensi Cag Pathogenecity Island (Cag-PAI) yang dihubungkan dengan gambaran endoskopi dan histopatologi serta faktor risiko infeksi H.pylori di Indonesia timur.Penelitian ini menganalisis data secara retrospektif dari pengumpulan sampel di kota Kupang, Kolaka, Palu, Ternate dan Merauke. Data yang didapatkan berupa hasil wawancara, pemeriksaan esofagogastroduodenoskopi, pemeriksaan histopatologi, dan pemeriksaan gen Cag-PAI pada kuman H.pylori. Data dari pemeriksaan rapid urease test, histopatologi dan dikonfirmasi dengan IHK mendapatkan angka prevalensi rata-rata adalah 16,6%. Prevalensi tertinggi didapatkan di Kupang (36,4%) diikuti Merauke (20%). Berdasarkan etnis prevalensi terbesar ditemukan pada etnis Timor (40%), etnis Bugis (20,8%) dan etnis Papua (20%). Gambaran endoskopi pada pasien dengan H.pylori positif yang paling banyak ditemukan adalah gastritis (64,7%) diikuti gambaran gastritis atrofik (26.5%) dimana proporsi gambaran gastritis atrofik lebih besar pada H.pylori positif. Pasien dengan H.pylori positif didapatkan memiliki derajat inflamasi dan atrofi yang lebih berat. Faktor virulensi Cag-PAI didapatkan di Kupang (39,4%), Merauke (20%) dan Kolaka (15,2%). Adanya faktor virulensi Cag-PAI secara signifikan bermakna terhadap derajat beratnya inflamasi dan atrofi (p<0.05). Faktor sosial ekonomi, sumber air, konsumsi alkohol dan merokok tidak bermakna secara statistik sebagai faktor risiko infeksi H.pylori. Prevalensi H.yplori di Indonesia timur cukup tinggi jika dibandingkan wilayah Indonesia lainnya. Terdapat faktor virulensi Cag-PAI pada beberapa daerah di Indonesia timur yang berhubungan dengan derajat beratnya inflamasi dan atrofi gaster."

"Tujuan Pengobatan untuk eradikasi H pylori dengan kombinasi PPI dan Amoksisilin 1000 mg atau Clarithromycin 500 mg yang diberikan 2 kali sehari selama 2 minggu telah terbukti efektif. Kebanyakan penelitian menyebutkan bahwa pengobatan 7 dan 10 hari sama efektif. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk membandingkan terapi eradikasi H pylori selama 5 dan 7 hari. Metode Penelitian ini dilakukan secara prospektif pada 60 pasien yang terinfeksi H pylori, pemeriksaan dilakukan dengan endoskopi dan biopsi saluran cerna bagian atas di 6 (enam) rumah sakit di Indonesia. Diagnosis H pylori ditegakkan berdasarkan pada 2 pemeriksaan rapid urea test (Pronto Dry) dan pemeriksaan histopatologi atau adanya urea breath test (UBT) yang positif. Kemudian secara terbuka pasien akan dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok, kelompok pertama mendapatkan pengobatan oral amoksisilin 1000 mg 2 kali sehari, clarithromycin oral 500 mg 2 kali sehari, rabeprazole 10 mg 2 kali sehari selama 5 hari dan kelompok kedua mendapatkan pengobatan oral amoksisilin 1000 mg 2 kali sehari, clarithromycin oral 500 mg 2 kali sehari, rabeprazole 10 mg 2 kali sehari selama 7 hari. Empat minggu kemudian, pasien dievaluasi dengan UBT untuk memastikan keberadaan H pylori. Hasil Pada penelitian ini didapatkan 60 pasien yang terdiri dari 42 laki-laki dan 18 perempuan dengan rata-rata (usia+SD) 47.63+13.93 tahun, rentang usia 21-74 tahun. Kelompok pengobatan 5 hari terdiri dari 25 (41,7%) pasien dan kelompok pengobatan 7 hari terdiri dari 35 (58.3%) pasien. Setelah kelompok pengobatan 5 hari didapatkan 18 (72%) pasien H Pylori negatif, dan setelah pengobatan 7 hari didapatkan 32 (91.4%) pasien H Pylori negatif. Kegagalan eradikasi ditemukan pada kelompok pengobatan 5 hari sebesar 7 (28%) pasien dan pada kelompok pengobatan 7 hari sebesar 3 (8.6%) (p=0,077). Kesimpulan Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa eradikasi H pylori dengan pengobatan tripel dengan rabeprazole pada kelompok 7 hari masih lebih baik daripada kelompok pengobatan 5 hari. Perbedaan yang tidak bermakna secara statistik ini mungkin karena jumlah sampel tidak mencukupi.

Aim A combination of PPI and 1000 mg amoxicillin/500 mg clarithromycin twice daily for 2 weeks has been proven effective in the eradication of H. pylori. Most studies suggested that treatment for 7 and 10 days may be equally effective. Few data are available on the effi cacy of 5-day triple therapy. Aim of this study was to compare 5-day and 7-day rabeprazole triple therapy for eradication of H. pylori infection. Methods We prospectively studied 60 consecutive H. pylori-infected patients who came to hospitals in six centres in Indonesia and who underwent upper endoscopy and biopsy. H. pylori infection was confi rmed if two rapid urease tests (Pronto Dry) and histology or urea breath test were positive. Patients were assigned to either an open-labelled 5-day or 7-day course of oral amoxicillin 1000 mg b.i.d., clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d., and rabeprazole 10 mg b.i.d. (RAC).Four weeks after therapy, all patients had a repeated UBT for evaluation of the presence of H. pylori. Results Of the 60 patients (42 males and 18 females) with mean age (± SD) 47.63 ± 13.93 years, range 21?74 years, 25 patients (41.7%) had 5-day treatment and 35 patients (58.3%) had 7-day treatment. With 5-day treatment, 18 patients (72%) and with 7-day treatment 32 patients (91.4%) became negative for H. pylori infection. The eradication failure was found on 7 patients (28.0%) in 5-day reatment and 3 patients (8.6%) in 7-day treatment. Conclusions The study showed that the eradication of H. pylori infection by triple rabeprazole-based treatment in 7-day is still better than in 5-day."
