    Objective: 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.

    Background Globally Mongolia is the top country in the incidence of gastric cancer followed by Japan and Korea which are East Asian countries. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection possessing East-Asian-type CagA is more associated with gastric carcinogenesis than Western-type CagA. The prevalence of H. pylori is around 70% in Mongolia; however, the previous study reported Mongolians infected with H. pylori possessing Western-type CagA. Therefore, we aimed to characterize Mongolian H. pylori infection based on a whole genome sequencing method. Methods Totally 130 strains are sequenced from Mongolian H. pylori isolates (20 gastric cancer and 110 non-cancer cases) and 401 data from 38 countries H. pylori whole genome data were extracted for the FineStructure analysis. The complete CagA gene and 7 housekeeping genes were extracted for constructing a phylogenetic tree. Results Based on whole genomic FineStructure analysis we found new H. pylori population named as HpMongolia among Mongolian gastric cancer and non-gastric cancer cases which are separately clustered among published global H. pylori populations (IDDF2023-ABS-0237-Figure 1. FineStructure analysis for H.pylori population). Complete CagA gene sequencing data showed that HpMongolia possessed with J-Western type cagA and it was the highest distribution of J-Western cagA positive H. pylori strains identified in Mongolia (67.7%) followed by Canada, North America (10%), and Okinawa, Japan (5.9%) among the published population (IDDF2023-ABS-0237-Figure 2. Global H.pylori phylogenetic tree based on 7-housekeeping genes). The phylogenetic tree constructed based on 7 housekeeping genes result showed the closest H. pylori population with HpMongolia is the HpAmerind which is isolated from native American people (IDDF2023-ABS-0237-Figure 3. H.pylori CagA genotyping map). Conclusions Mongolians provide new H. pylori population is named as HpMongolia which contains most of the cases Japanese-Western type cagA both for cancer and non-cancer cases. Therefore Japanese-Western type cagA might have advantageous for human migration study markers and further clinical implications.

    Background Previous our microbiome analysis indicates that Enterococcus sp. predominance of microbial composition has been determined in patients with gastric cancer (GC) by 16S rRNA metagenomic analysis. We aimed to determine whether this bacterium could promote the emergence and progression of GC. Methods The effects of E. hirae and Helicobacter pylori (clinical strain Mon-Ke2 as control) were assessed in a gastric epithelial cell line (AGS cells). The cell toxicity of AGS cells is identified by lactate dehydrogenase levels. The DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) were assessed by gamma-H2AX expressions using immunoblotting; and single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE). AGS cells were analyzed for the rapid oxygen species (ROS) expressions response after E. hirae and H. pylori infections. Results E. hirae was successfully isolated from the gastric mucosal specimen of a GC patient for the first time. The whole-genome sequence of E. hirae was confirmed by next-generation sequencing. E. hirae-infected AGS cells showed abnormal morphological changes. Infections of E. hirae and H. pylori significantly induced cell death and expression of gH2AX in AGS cells. Besides, the expression of gH2AX and DSBs was confirmed by SCGE comet formation. Interestingly, co-infection of H. pylori and E. hirae had a synergistic effect on the severity of DSBs. E. hirae could induce intranucleus and mitochondrial ROS in AGS cells same as H. pylori. We investigated whether only live E. hirae, or its released factor(s) can cause DNA damage. Supernatant from AGS cells infected with E. hirae could induce the gH2AX, whereas H. pylori required cell adhesion to induce gH2AX. The complete genome of E. hirae totally contained 2570 genes and 10 known virulence factor genes (e.g., Enterococcus pore-forming toxin). Conclusions E. hirae-related dysbiosis in the stomach might increase the risk for GC, resulting in gained the genomic instability of gastric cells, as well as H. pylori infection. Further research investigating the impacts of this pathogen on the human host using the gastric organoid model is needed since several studies have shown that other species of Enterococcus induce cancer-promoting events resulting in DNA damage in gastric/colonic mucosa, and hepatic cells.

    Mongolia 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.

    Helicobacter pylori is a pathogen related to severe diseases such as gastric cancer; because of rising antimicrobial-resistant strains, failure to eradicate H. pylori with antibiotics has increased worldwide. Multidrug-resistant H. pylori and gastric cancer is common in Mongolia; therefore, we aimed to explore alternative antimicrobial treatments and the genomes of resistant strains in this country. A total of 361 H. pylori strains isolated from patients in Mongolia were considered. Minimal inhibitory concentrations for two fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin), rifabutin, and furazolidone were determined via two-fold agar dilution. Genomic mutations in antibiotic-resistant strains were identified by next-generation sequencing using the Illumina Miseq platform and compared with genes from a reference H. pylori strain (26695). The resistance rate of H. pylori strains to quinolones was high (44% to ciprofloxacin and 42% to moxifloxacin), and resistance to rifabutin was low (0.5%); none were resistant to furazolidone. Most quinolone-resistant strains possessed gyrA gene mutations causing amino acid changes (e.g., N87K, A88P, and D91G/Y/N). While one rifabutin-resistant strain had amino acid-substituting mutations in rpoB (D530N and R701C), the other had three novel rpoB mutations; both rifabutin-resistant strains were sensitive to furazolidone. Overall, our findings suggest that rifabutin and/or furazolidone may be an alternative, effective H. pylori treatment in patients who have failed to respond to other treatment regimens.

    BACKGROUND/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).
