clarithromycin resistance in Uzbekistan based on Real-Time polymerase chain reaction (PCR-Real-time PCR).
Materials and methods
In 2016-2017 in the department of Gastroenterology of the Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Medical Center for Therapy and Medical Rehabilitation of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan, endoscopy collected samples from epithelial cells and gastric juice in 114 patients diagnosed with atrophic gastritis and gastric ulcer. DNA samples were isolated from biopsy samples using the AmpliPrim RIBO-prep reagent kit (interLabService, Russia), according to the manufacturer's instructions. The concentration and purity of the isolated DNA samples were checked on a BioSpec-nano spectrophotometer (Shimadzu Biotech, Japan). The presence of H. pylori in the samples was confirmed by PCR using specific primers to the nucleotide sequence of the ureC gene described in [4, 1-6].
A multiplex Real-Time PCR with specially selected primers and probes (scorpion primers) was conducted to identify point mutations A2142G/C, A2143G, in the functional domain V 23S rRNA-gene responsible for the formation of HP resistance to clarithromycin [5, 2-7]. In each sample, an amplifier 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems) reads 4 channels (FAM, Cy3, ROX, and Cy5) fluorescence.
Results and its discussion
In all 114 samples of biopsy collected, the presence of the bacterium H.pylori was detected, the infection rate was 109 (95.6%). Of these, the resistance of H.pylori to clarithromycin was determined in 19 cases, which was 17.4%. The most common mutation was A2142G, which was detected in 15 patients (78.95%). The A2143G mutation was noted in 3 patients (15.79%).
To a large extent, resistance to clarithromycin in Uzbekistan is due to the presence of a point mutation A2142G. This mutation is present in 78,95% of resistant strains, and its presence in most cases explains the ineffectiveness of eradication therapy. The remaining 95 patients were infected by H.pylori bacteria in his stomach all of 2142 and 2143 precincts mutation detected in these patients ET scheme clarithromycin.
Patients who do not have point mutations, i.e. The resistance of H.pylori to clarithromycin in the appointment of the scheme can be recommended antibiotic clarithromycin. In the next series of experiments, sequencing of the strains of
the bacterium H. pylori was carried out. Sequencing of the strains of the bacterium H.pylori resistant to clarithromycin in the 23S rRNA gene revealed several mutations, of which
2142 A/G/C, 2143 A/G mutations were most common, and the mutation 2142 A/C was not detected [6, 1-6; 7, e29694].
The sequencing of resistant strains of the bacterium H.pylori to clarithromycin revealed mutations A2147 G (79.8%), A2146G (17.2%) and A2146C (2%). Bacteria H.pylori resistant to clarithromycin were not detected [8, 2-5]. From the discussions of the above literature data one can see that, even in one infected population, the indicators of bacterial resistance to antibiotics are different [9, 164-174]. During the sequence of strains of the bacterium H.pylori resistant to clarithromycin in the 23 S rRNA gene, several mutations were identified, ofwhich 2142 A/G/C and
2143 A/G mutations were the most common. For example, in the countries of Bulgaria [6, 1-6], Northern Iran [7, e29694] mainly identified mutations 2142 A/G, 2143 A/G, and mutation 2142 A/C was not identified. In Northern Spain, from 1986, cultures of isolates of H. pylori 349 (17.6%) were resistant to clarithromycin.
The sequencing of resistant bacteria H.pylori to clar-ithromycin revealed mutations A2147G (79.8%), A2146G (17.2%) and A2146C (2%) [10, 43-46]. In Italy, according to E-test, 82 cultures of H.pylori isolates were studied, of which 42 patients showed resistance of H.pylori to clarithromycin. In addition to the mutations A2142C, A2142G and A2143G, new mutations A2115G, G2141A and A2144T were detected in these isolates of cultures [11, 453-457]. Resistant bacteria H.pylori to clarithromycin that were not detected by the microbiological method E-test was determined by the method of Scorpion Real time PCR [12, 2320-2326].
Thus, on the basis of the obtained results, it can be concluded that in Uzbekistan it is necessary to conduct a study of the resistance of H.pylori not only to clarithromycin, but also to other antibiotics, since this will give the opportunity to choose the right ET regimens, which will lead to an increase in efficiency and monitoring therapy. In the future, for a broader study of molecular genetic aspects of the resistance of the bacterium H.pylori to clarithromycin, it is necessary to sequence the 23 S rRNA gene in domain V, as well as implement the Real Time PCR test systems for the most frequently encountered H.pylori mutations in Uzbekistan.
