Objective To examine the prevalence ofHelicobacter pylori in Shanghai and relevant risk factors, evaluate the resistance proifle ofH. pylori isolates to antibiotics used in ifrst-line therapy in two hospitals in Shanghai.MethodsH. pylori were isolated from the biopsy samples of gastric mucosa collected from September 2013 to January 2015. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed by E-test method for 131H. pylori strains to 4 antibiotics, clarithromycin, metronidazole, amoxicillin and tetracycline. Results A total of 955 patients receiving gastroscopy were enrolled. And 248 (26.0%)H. pylori strains were isolated from the biopsy samples of gastric mucosa. Overall, 14.5%, 64.1%, 0 and 0.8% of the strains were resistant to clarithromycin, metronidazole, amoxicillin and tetracycline, respectively. Resistance to two drugs was found in 10.7%(14/131) of the strains, and majority (92.8%, 13/14) of which were resistant to clarithromycin and metronidazole.Conclusions The prevalence ofH. pylori in gastric mucosa is rather lower compared with the data reported previously. It is associated with the sex, age and clinical outcome of patients, however, antibiotic resistance profile is not related to these factors.H. pylori eradication therapy should be individualized according to the results of susceptibility test in Shanghai.
