We found that the median time from admission to MRSA bacteremia onset was 26 days, which is longer than that in Western countries but similar to that in South Korea. Further, our cohort was older than that in the United States and South Korea, potentially contributing to the higher number of years of life lost in Japan.

The analysis shows the predominance of the less virulent combination (vacA(s2m2i2d2)dupA(-)cagE(-)cagA(-)), and shows that the risk of gastric cancer is 13.33 fold higher (1.06-166.37)) in patients infected by strains harboring vacA(s1m1i1d1)dupA(-)cagE(+)cagA(2EPIYA-C) compared to patients with gastritis without lesions and infected by H.pylori strains harboring vacA(s2m2i2d2)dupA(-)cagE(-)cagA(-). The infection with strains harboring vacA(s1m1i1d1)dupA(+)cagE(+)cagA(1EPIYAC) genotype combination represents a risk factor for gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer (the Odds Ratio (95% CI) were 16 (1.09-234.24) and 6.54 (1.60-26.69) respectively) compared to patients with gastritis without lesions. These results suggest that the combination of the active form of vacA genotypes, dupA gene status and the number of EPIYA-C motif may be considered helpful markers to discriminate between several gastric diseases.</p>","PeriodicalId":14608,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of infectious diseases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141467922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
