Abstract

Objective: Putative associations between certain bacteria and gastric cancer have been described previously; however, the mechanisms underlying such associations are not thoroughly understood. We aimed to confirm the presence of Fusobacterium nucleatum in the biopsy samples of patients with gastroduodenal diseases, including gastric cancer, with concomitant or without Helicobacter pylori infection.

Results: Three hundred patients with gastroduodenal disorders, including gastritis, duodenal ulcer, or gastric cancer, were included. One hundred and eighty (60%) patients were negative and 120 (40%) positive for H. pylori. Associations between the presence of H. pylori and age, gender, or other demographics were statistically insignificant (p > 0.05). The prevalence of F. nucleatum infection was determined for the two patient categories: 215 patients (72%) were positive for F. nucleatum; of these cases, 95 showed evidence of, and 120 lacked, concomitant H. pylori infection. Gastric biopsies obtained from patients with gastric cancer but negative for H. pylori revealed a significant prevalence of F. nucleatum infection.

期刊介绍： BMC Research Notes publishes scientifically valid research outputs that cannot be considered as full research or methodology articles. We support the research community across all scientific and clinical disciplines by providing an open access forum for sharing data and useful information; this includes, but is not limited to, updates to previous work, additions to established methods, short publications, null results, research proposals and data management plans.
