Background and Aims:The efficiency ofHelicobacter pylorieradication varies geographically, as do many parameters that might affect therapeutic efficiency, including bacterial genotype. The aim of the present study was to determine the efficiency ofH. pylorieradication using a 10‐day proton pump inhibitor‐based triple‐therapy regimen (omeprazole, clarithromycin and amoxycillin) in an eastern Indian patient population, and to find out the relationship, if any, of the success or failure of the therapy to known features of bacterial genotype.MethodsHelicobacter pyloriinfections were analyzed in 66 duodenal ulcer patients by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, rapid urease tests, histology and culture. The cytotoxin‐associated gene (cagA) and vacuolating cytotoxin(vacA)gene status of cultured strains were studied by polymerase chain reaction. Treatment was given for 10 days and endoscopy was repeated at 4 and 12 weeks post therapy to monitor ulcer healing andH. pylorieradication.Results:Ulcer healing was observed in 60 patients (96.77%).Helicobacter pyloriwas eradicated in 41 (62.12% intention to treat, 66.13% per protocol) of the 66 duodenal ulcer patients, but not in the other 25. The bacteria from 47 patients were genotyped. The only significant disease‐associated difference in patterns observed was that thevacA m1allele was represented more disproportionately among patients with eradication failures (68%) than in those with successful eradication (39%) (P< 0.05) No significant association ofvacAs1(signal sequence allele) orcagpathogenicity island status with persistence was detected.Conclusions:This study highlights the public health need for cheaper, more cost‐effective anti‐H. pyloritherapies for developing countries, and suggests that subtle features of bacterial genotype can influence therapeutic efficiency. The possibility that particularvacAmid region alleles affect persistence, perhaps through toxin action on particular gastric cell types, merits further study.
