Abstract

Sequence variations located at the signal sequence and mid-region within the gene, the 3′-end of the gene, the indel motifs at the 3′-end of the pathogenicity island and the regions upstream of the and genes were determined by PCR in 19 paired antral or antrum and corpus isolates obtained at the same endoscopic session, and three antral pairs taken sequentially. Random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR and fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP)-PCR fingerprinting were applied to these paired clinical isolates. The FAFLP-PCR profiles generated were phylogenetically analysed. For the 22 paired isolates there were no differences within pairs at five of the genetic loci studied. However, six pairs of isolates (27 %), of which four were antrum and corpus pairs, showed differences in the numbers of repeats located at the 3′-end of the gene. RAPD-PCR fingerprinting showed that 16 (73 %) pairs, nine of which were antrum and corpus pairs, possessed identical profiles, while six (27 %) displayed distinctly different profiles, indicating mixed infections. Three of the six pairs showing differences at the 3′-end of the gene yielded identical RAPD-PCR fingerprints. FAFLP-PCR fingerprinting and phylogenetic analysis revealed that all 16 pairs that displayed identical RAPD-PCR profiles had highly similar, but not identical, fingerprints, demonstrating that these pairs were ancestrally related but had undergone minor genomic alterations. Two antrum and corpus pairs of isolates, within the latter group, were isolates obtained from two siblings from the same family. This analysis demonstrated that each sibling was colonized by ancestrally related strains that exhibited differences in genotype characteristics.
