幽门螺旋菌(HP)的确切传染途径仍是一个存在许多争议的问题。在化生的直肠粘膜中检测到HP,提示该菌能通过胃肠道。但在发达国家,有关HP的粪-口传播途径仍不清楚,具体而言,尚未从这些国家人群的粪便中分离到HP。本项研究,首次报道从英国消化不良患者粪便中分离得到HP。 36例在英格兰剑桥Addenbrooke医院经接受消化不良常规检查的患者被列入本项研 The exact route of transmission of Helicobacter pylori (HP) remains a matter of much debate. HP was detected in metaplastic rectal mucosa, suggesting that the bacteria can pass through the gastrointestinal tract. However, in developed countries, the fecal-oral transmission route of HP remains unclear. Specifically, HP has not been isolated from feces of these countries. This study, for the first time, reports the isolation of HP from feces of dyslipidemic patients in the United Kingdom. Thirty-six patients at the Addenbrooke Hospital in Cambridge, England, who underwent routine examinations of indigestion, were included in this study
