| Summary: | Introduction: The Blood Group Antigen-Binding Adhesion
(babA), Outer Inflammatory Protein (oipA) and Sialic AcidBinding Adhesin (sabA) as outer membrane proteins involved
in Helicobacter pylori adherence to gastric mucosa have been
suggested to have a role in the pathogenesis.
Aim: To investigate the frequency of H. pylori isolates babA2,
oipA and sabA genes in Iranian dyspeptic patients.
Materials and Methods: DNAs were extracted from H. pylori
–positive cultures taken from 100 different dyspeptic patients.
Genotyping was performed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR),
using the specific primers for babA2, oipA and sabA genes.
Chi square test was used to investigate association between
variables, p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: All (100%) isolates possessed oipA and sabA
genotypes, whereas babA2 was detected in 22% of isolates.
There was no significant relationship between presence of
genes with clinical outcome. The combined genotype oipA +/
sabA +/ babA2- was correlated with gastritis. The rate of babA2
genotype in our isolates was lower than other Iranian reports.
Conclusion: Frequency of babA2 genotype among H. pylori
isolates from Southwest of Iran is considerably less than other
regions of Iran. Due to heterogeneity of H. pylori strains in different
geographic regions, further work will be needed to understand
the role of these virulence genes in H. pylori pathogenesis and
their possible association with disease outcome. |
