Why is helicobacter pylori considered an emerging disease

The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ELISA is widely used to perform epidemiological studies on a considerable number of individuals [ 48 ]. In a work done by Siavoshi et al. This is a chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of H. Molecular methods are the names given to all the laboratory techniques used to isolate DNA or extract it in high purity, visualize it to see its state, cut it and paste it Iglesias [ 51 ] , or amplify a region in a huge amount of molecules: fragment cloning in bacteria or other vectors such as viruses as well as polymerase chain reaction PCR.

The main explanation for this development is due to the difficulty of detecting a pathogen through classical microbiology [ 52 ] Table 1. Comparison of diagnostic methods for H. Besides, being microorganisms of difficult isolation, the used techniques to culture are insufficient, so that molecular methods and antigen screening are the most recommended for detection, since these techniques are not invasive to patients.

Introduction Helicobacter pylori is considered a pathogen of global interest because it is a microorganism of very easy contagion between hosts or susceptible hosts.

The risk factor is considered any caused that increases the likelihood of having a disease such as cancer, even though several risk components do not mean that the person will have the disease; Some scientists connoted that the risks that take a person to be more prone to suffer stomach cancer are several such as: Incidence according to sex: Stomach cancer is more common in men than in women [ 16 ].

In recent years, its potential etiological relationship with extradigestive diseases has also been found, such as iron deficiency anemia and immune thrombocytopenic purpura.

The understanding of the host defense mechanisms as well as the virulence and pathogenicity factors of the bacteria has allowed us to establish indications in which antibiotic eradication provides a clinical benefit, mainly for gastric diseases. Recently there has been growing evidence of the benefit of this therapy in other digestive and non-digestive conditions and has even shown a potential impact with the population's screening and eradication strategy of the bacteria for diseases of high morbidity and mortality such as gastric cancer.

We have a poor understanding of the immune responses to H. The host restriction of H. Thus progress will require improvements in animal models and improved access to patient samples. Endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract is an invasive procedure, so a major limitation to research is collection of bacterial and human tissue samples from infected people.

Available samples are biased toward patients with severe dyspepsia, ulcer symptoms, and gastric cancer, and only a small fraction of the stomach can be sampled. Advances in less-invasive methods, such as capsule endoscopy, may allow increased sampling to monitor bacterial and tissue changes during chronic colonization, including isolation and phenotypic analysis of immune effector cells in infected tissue.

Less-invasive methods would also provide an opportunity to study infection in asymptomatic individuals and transmission of H. A major opportunity to increase our understanding of how H.

Currently, several platforms allow researchers to accomplish in a single experiment sequencing or resequencing of tens of H.

The sequence data generated by such experiments will address several important mysteries of H. While strains from unrelated individuals show dramatic variation in gene content and gene sequence, the extent of sequence variation among clones during persistent infection of a single host or upon transmission has not been adequately sampled.

Whole-genome sequencing of multiple isolates of individual patients with dense spatial and temporal sampling would definitively establish when, where, and by what mechanisms genetic diversity is generated. This information will inform efforts to combat resistance to current antibiotics, to develop vaccines, and to understand H.

Exploration of the influence of H. Such organisms may mediate some of the disease risks that have been associated with H. Finally, the rapid pace of resequencing of H. Thus, genomic approaches to study host response, the human microbiome, bacterial genetic variation, and, perhaps most importantly, the intersections among these components, will help researchers determine whether eradication is appropriate for all individuals in all populations.
