Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the antibiotics resistance of patients with Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) infection of different age in Ningxia. Methods:From July to December 2021, a total of 1 040 patients with H. pylori infection confirmed by 14C-urea breath test who had no history of H. pylori treatment and underwent gastroscopy were selected from the H. pylori special outpatient clinics from Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region People′s Hospital, Ningxia Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Yuanzhou District People′s Hospital of Guyuan, Wuzhong People′s Hospital, the Second People′s Hospital of Shizuishan, People′s Hospital of Zhongwei, Yinchuan First People′s Hospital. Gastric mucosa specimens were obtained under gastroscopy and cultured for H. pylori in vitro. Harvested H. pylori were detected for H. pylori drug resistance phenotype. Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method was used to detect antibiotic sensitivity. Previous use of antibiotics of patients were recorded. The characteristics of primary drug resistance of people≤44, 45 to 59, and ≥60 years old were analyzed. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 538 H. pylori strains were obtained from 1 040 gastric mucosa specimens cultured in vitro, with a positive rate of 51.7%. A total of 187 patients could provide information on history of antibiotics usage. The primary drug resistance rates of metronidazole, clarithromycin and levofloxacin were high, which were 95.5% (514/538), 44.6% (240/538) and 45.4% (244/538), respectively; however drug resistance of amoxicillin, furazolidone and tetracycline were not found. The double drug resistance rate was 36.4% (196/538), mainly resistant to metronidazole and clarithromycin or metronidazole and levofloxacin, the drug resistance rates were 17.8% (96/538), 18.2% (98/538), respecitively. The triple drug resistance rate was 25.5% (137/538), all of the strains were metronidazole, clarithromycin and levofloxacin resistant strains. The primary drug resistance rates to levofloxacin and clarithromycin in patients with H. pylori infection who had previous history of quinolones and macrolides were 60.9% (28/46) and 63.4% (83/131), respectively; which were higher than those of patients who had not used corresponding drugs (41.8%, 59/141 and 39.3%, 22/56), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=5.05 and 9.23, P=0.023, 0.002). The drug resistance rates of metronidazole of ≤44, 45 to 59, and ≥60 years old group were 94.2% (163/173), 95.5% (231/242) and 97.6% (120/123), respectively, and the differences were not significant ( P>0.05). The single drug resistance rates of levofloxacin of ≤44, 45 to 59, and ≥60 years old group were 34.7% (60/173), 48.3% (117/242) and 54.5% (67/123), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=12.95, P=0.002). The levofloxacin resistance rate of ≤44 years old group was lower than that of 45 to 59, and ≥60 years old group, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=7.70 and 11.49, P=0.006, 0.001). The single drug resistance rates of clarithromycin of ≤44, 45 to 59, and ≥60 years old group were 36.4% (63/173), 50.4% (122/242) and 44.7% (55/123), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=8.00, P=0.018). The clarithromycin resistance rate of ≤44 years old group was lower than 45 to 59 years old group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=8.00, P=0.005). Dual drug resistance rates of levofloxacin and clarithromycin of ≤44, 45 to 59 and ≥60 years old group were 49.7%(86/173), 70.2%(170/242), 45.5%(56/123), and the difference was statistically significant( χ2=27.63, P<0.001). The resistance rate of clarithromycin and levofloxacin in 45 to 59 years old group was higher than that in ≤44 and ≥60 years old group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=18.00 and 21.13, both P<0.001). Conclusions:Primary drug resistance rates to metronidazole, levofloxacin and clarithromycin are high in patients with H. pylori infection of different ages in Ningxia. Individualized eradication therapy guided by drug resistance test is recommended.
