    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/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).

    BACKGROUND: 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.

    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.
