Esomeprazole is more beneficial than other PPIs for H. pylori eradication among subjects receiving quadruple therapy, and independent predictors of treatment success included older age and quadruple Therapy.
Abstract
Introduction Suppression of gastric acid secretion with proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) is an integral part of the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. Esomeprazole has been shown to be superior to other PPIs when used in the context of triple therapy; however, comparative data for PPI efficacy in quadruple therapy are lacking. Current guidelines recommend H. pylori eradication with quadruple therapy in areas with high clarithromycin resistance. Objective To determine whether esomeprazole is more effective than other PPIs in the context of quadruple therapy for H. pylori eradication. Methods We retrospectively identified 25- to 60-year-old subjects with a positive 13C-urea breath test and no prior laboratory or endoscopic test for H. pylori infection. Pharmacy dispensation data were retrieved. Results A total of 7,896 subjects including 2,856 (36.2%) males, aged 40.4 ± 10.6 years, were identified. Of those, 78.1% received omeprazole, 20.1% received lansoprazole, 1.5% received esomeprazole, and 0.34% received pantoprazole together with antibiotics for H. pylori eradication. Esomeprazole was associated with a greater proportion of successful eradication (85.0 vs. 77.5%, esomeprazole vs. omeprazole, OR 1.64; 95% CI 0.99-2.72; p = 0.05). A nonsignificant trend favored esomeprazole over omeprazole among subjects receiving quadruple therapy (90.0 vs. 82.0%, respectively, OR 1.98; 95% CI 0.68-5.72; p = 0.16). Independent predictors of treatment success included older age and quadruple therapy. Conclusion Esomeprazole is more beneficial than other PPIs for H. pylori eradication. Studies with larger subgroups are necessary to confirm our findings among subjects receiving quadruple therapy.

Review - Treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection 2020

TL;DR: This review summarizes important studies regarding Helicobacter pylori therapy published from April 2019 to April 2020 that involve studies assessing antibiotic resistance, and there is also growing momentum behind the utility of vonoprazan as an alternative to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy and also bismuth‐based regimens as a first‐line regimen.

TL;DR: A retrospective study on 264 outpatients who were diagnosed with H. pylori-associated chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer disease between January and December 2015 at a large tertiary hospital in China found patients with duodenal ulcers had a higher H.pylori eradication rate than those with other lesions.

Helicobacter pylori resistance to antibiotics in Europe and its relationship to antibiotic consumption

TL;DR: In many countries the high rate of clarithromycin resistance no longer allows its empirical use in standard anti-H pylori regimens, so knowledge of outpatient antibiotic consumption may provide a simple tool to predict the susceptibility of H pyloris to quinolones and to macrolides and to adapt the treatment strategies.

A H+-Gated Urea Channel: The Link Between Helicobacter pylori Urease and Gastric Colonization

TL;DR: UreI is an inner membrane protein with six transmembrane segments as shown by in vitro transcription/translation and membrane separation Expression of ureI in Xenopus oocytes results in acid-stimulated urea uptake, with a pH profile similar to activation of cytoplasmic urease as discussed by the authors.
