ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Several studies have been reported that the presence of Helicobacter DNA in human bile sample, although its pathological role is not clear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the presence and identification of Helicobacter species in human bile samples obtained from patients with biliary tract diseases.METHODS:
58 bile samples (35 intrahepatic duct stones, 10 bile duct cancer, 13 pancreatic cancer) were obtained by percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD). DNA was isolated from bile sample. The primers were designed to amplify region of Helicobacter genus specific 16S rRNA. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was developed to differenciate the presence of H. pylori, H. bilis, H. rappini and H. muridarum.RESULTS:
Forty-two of 58 (72.4%) bile samples obtained from patients with biliary tract disease showed positive PCR band for Helicobacter genus specific 16S rRNA. H. pylori was found in 83.3% of positive samples. Either H. bilis or H. rappini was in 16.7%. H. muridarum, however, was not detected.CONCLUSION:
Helicobacter genus was detected in human bile samples obtained from patients with biliary tract diseases using PCR method, and the major species was H. pylori. In addition, RFLP technique was used successfully to identify Helicobacter species.
