Item type:Publication, Helicobacter Pylori Genotyping Among Mongolian Dyspeptic Patients(Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 2022-06-30) ;Tserentogtokh Tegshee; ; ; Battulga AdiyasurenObjective: The prevalence of H. pylori infection varies significantly and developing countries are found to be the highest in Asia. In the present study, we have aimed to perform a combined analysis of histochemical stains and IHC to confirm the H.pylori infection of patients in 5 different provinces and Ulaanbaatar city, Mongolia. Method: Five hundred and thirty-eight patients were enrolled in this study (142 gastric mucosal atrophy, 333 gastritis and 62 gastroesophageal reflux). Results: 67.1 % of participants had CagA positive and 69.3 % were immunohistochemically positive. All histological results showed that the gastritis group was significantly higher in patients who were positive for H. pylori than in antral-predominant gastritis. By the hematoxylin and eosin staining with May– Giemsa confirmation by IHC, the prevalence of H. pylori infection in the gastric mucosal atrophy group was 62.1 %, while in the gastritis and gastroesophageal reflux group, the rate was 74.3 % and 59.1 %, respectively. Conclusion: CagA sequence profile in each group of patients revealed that 22.6 % of the gastric mucosal atrophy group was ABC type, 43.4 % was ABCC type and 33.9 % was ABTC type. On the other hand, in the gastritis group, the dominant type was ABTC (41.3 %). In the gastroesophageal reflux group, the ABCC type was dominant while 23.1% was the ABC type. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, High Antibiotic Resistance of Helicobacter pylori and Its Associated Novel Gene Mutations among the Mongolian Population(MDPI AG, 2020-07) ;Azzaya, Dashdorj; ; ; Matsumoto, TakashiMongolia has a high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection and the second highest incidence of gastric cancer worldwide. Thus, investigating the prevalence of antibiotic resistance and its underlying genetic mechanism is necessary. We isolated 361 H. pylori strains throughout Mongolia. Agar dilution assays were used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations of five antibiotics; amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, levofloxacin, and minocycline. The genetic determinants of antibiotic resistance were identified with next-generation sequencing (NGS) and the CLC Genomics Workbench. The resistance to metronidazole, levofloxacin, clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and minocycline was 78.7%, 41.3%, 29.9%, 11.9% and 0.28%, respectively. Multidrug resistance was identified in 51.3% of the isolates investigated which were further delineated into 9 antimicrobial resistance profiles. A number of known antibiotic resistance mutations were identified including rdxA, frxA (missense, frameshift), gyrA (N87K, A88P, D91G/N/Y), 23S rRNA (A2143G), pbp1A (N562Y), and 16S rRNA (A928C). Furthermore, we detected previously unreported mutations in pbp1A (L610*) and the 23S rRNA gene (A1410G, C1707T, A2167G, C2248T, and C2922T). The degree of antibiotic resistance was high, indicating the insufficiency of standard triple therapy in Mongolia.Scopus© Citations 36 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Species-level dynamics of gastric microbiome after Helicobacter pylori eradication in high-risk Mongolian population(2026-02); ; ;Khangai, Ayush; Luvsandagva, BayasgalanBACKGROUND: Species-level resolution is essential to understand gastric microbiome recovery after Helicobacter pylori eradication, yet short-read 16 S rRNA approaches often obscure clinically relevant changes. METHODS: Gastric biopsies from 121 adults in Bayan-Ölgii, Mongolia (71 H. pylori-positive, 50 H. pylori-negative) were analyzed, including nine paired pre- and post-eradication gastric biopsy samples collected six months apart, enabling exploratory longitudinal analysis. Full-length 16 S rRNA (V1-V9) sequencing was performed using the Oxford Nanopore platform with EMU taxonomic assignment (SILVA v138.1/NCBI RefSeq). Ecological changes were evaluated using diversity indices, principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) with PERMANOVA, and differential abundance testing (DESeq2, FDR < 0.05). Eradication therapy (esomeprazole-bismuth-doxycycline-levofloxacin) achieved success in 54 of 57 H. pylori-positive patients (94.7%). RESULTS: H. pylori-positive microbiomes were dominated by H. pylori (91.8% ± 3.9%) and exhibited markedly reduced diversity (Shannon = 0.44 ± 0.11) compared with H. pylori-negative samples (2.08 ± 0.25; p < 0.001). Six months after eradication, diversity increased significantly (2.17 ± 0.20; p = 0.0001), with enrichment of oral commensals including Streptococcus mitis (↑ 11.9×), Neisseria elongata (↑ 13.7×), and Prevotella melaninogenica (↑ 13.0×). However, post-eradication profiles at six months remained distinct from H. pylori-negative communities (PERMANOVA R² = 0.12; p = 0.02). In total, 174 amplicon sequence variants changed significantly, including persistence of Fusobacterium nucleatum. CONCLUSIONS: Nanopore full-length 16 S sequencing reveals fine-scale, clinically relevant shifts that are masked by partial-gene assays. Eradication rapidly restores microbial diversity, but at six months, is associated with a novel ecological equilibrium rather than complete normalization. This species-resolved approach offers a practical framework for post-eradication microbiome monitoring and may inform strategies to reduce residual gastric cancer risk in high-burden populations.Scopus© Citations 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Study of Helicobacter pylori Isolated from a High-Gastric-Cancer-Risk Population: Unveiling the Comprehensive Analysis of Virulence-Associated Genes including Secretion Systems, and Genome-Wide Association Study(MDPI AG, 2023-09); ;Alfaray, Ricky Indra; ; Khangai, AyushBACKGROUND: The prevalence of gastric cancer in Mongolia, in East Asia, remains the highest in the world. However, most Helicobacter pylori strains in Mongolia have a less virulent Western-type CagA. We aimed to determine how H. pylori genomic variation affected gastric diseases, especially gastric cancer, based on comprehensive genome analysis. METHODS: We identified a set of 274 virulence-associated genes in H. pylori, including virulence factor and outer membrane protein (OMP) genes, the type four secretion system gene cluster, and 13 well-known virulence gene genotypes in 223 H. pylori strains and their associations with gastric cancer and other gastric diseases. We conducted a genome-wide association study on 158 H. pylori strains (15 gastric cancer and 143 non-gastric cancer strains). RESULTS: Out of 274 genes, we found 13 genes were variable depending on disease outcome, especially iron regulating OMP genes. H. pylori strains from Mongolia were divided into two main subgroups: subgroup (Sg1) with high risk and Sg2 with low risk for gastric cancer. The general characteristics of Sg1 strains are that they possess more virulence genotype genes. We found nine non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms in seven genes that are linked with gastric cancer strains. CONCLUSIONS: Highly virulent H. pylori strains may adapt through host-influenced genomic variations, potentially impacting gastric carcinogenesis.Scopus© Citations 10 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Advantage of 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing in Helicobacter pylori diagnosis(Wiley, 2021-06); ;El Serag, Hashem B; ;Azzaya, DashdorjMatsumoto, TakashiBACKGROUND: 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing is an accurate method of detecting microbial infection without culture. It is unclear if sequencing has additional benefits over routine diagnostic methods for Helicobacter pylori testing. METHODS: We enrolled Mongolian volunteers with dyspepsia. Using routine diagnostic methods, positive H. pylori was defined as positive results on histology/immunohistochemistry, culture, rapid urease test, or serology; negative H. pylori was defined by negative results from all these tests. We performed 16S rRNA sequencing on gastric biopsy specimens and calculated cutoffs for operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and relative abundance (RA) to define positive results using ROC curves. RESULTS: We examined 161 individuals with a mean age of 43.6 years, and 64.6% were women. Using routine diagnostic methods, 122 (75.8%) participants were H. pylori positive, the sensitivity and specificity for 16S rRNA sequencing were 94.3% and 82.1% or 93.4% and 82.1% when cutoff values were set to 1113 (OTU number) or 4.4% RA, respectively (both p < .001). When combining the validated values, the concordance rate was high (91.1%); however, 16S rRNA sequencing had additional positive yield in 9 cases (5.6%) compared with routine diagnostic methods, and much greater additional positive yield compared to histopathology/IHC, culture, RUT, serology separately with 12 (7.4%), 37 (23.0%) and 43 (26.7%). CONCLUSION: 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing detects potentially important proportion of H. pylori-positive cases that test negative with routine diagnostic methods. The quantitative number of H. pylori can help to understand how it can be changing by diseases and RA give opportunity to understand how H. pylori communicate with other microbiota.Scopus© Citations 27 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Utilization of an Automated Latex Agglutination Turbidity Assay for Assessing Gastric Mucosal Alteration during Helicobacter pylori Infection(The Editorial Office of Gut and Liver, 2024-01) ;Khangai, Ayush ;Akada, Junko; ; Azzaya, DashdorjBACKGROUND/AIMS: : A latex agglutination turbidity (LA) assay to test for serum antibodies has been approved in Japan and Korea for mass screening of Helicobacter pylori infection. In this study, we evaluated the LA assay for diagnosing H. pylori infection and predicting gastric mucosal changes in a Mongolian population. METHODS: : In total, 484 individuals were classified into H. pylori-positive (n=356) and H. pylori-negative (n=128) groups, as determined by histology and H. pylori culture. RESULTS: : The best cutoff, sensitivity, and specificity values for the LA assay were 18.35 U/mL, 74.2%, and 65.6%, respectively. The LA values in the atrophic gastritis group were statistically higher than those in the other groups (healthy, chronic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, and gastric cancer, p<0.0001). The cutoff value to distinguish the atrophic gastritis group from the other four groups was 32.0 U/mL, and its area under the curve was 0.673, which was the highest among the E-plate, pepsinogen (PG) I, PG II, and PG I/II ratio tests in our data. The odds ratios for atrophic gastritis determined by the LA assay and PG I test in multiple logistic regression were 2.5 and 1.9, respectively, which were significantly higher than for the other tests. CONCLUSIONS: : The LA assay can determine the risk of atrophic gastritis, which in turn is a considerable risk factor for gastric cancer. We propose using this assay in combination with the PG I/II ratio to avoid missing gastric cancer patients who have a low LA value (less than 32.0 U/mL).Scopus© Citations 3
