Doxycycline (200 mg, Combitic Global Caplet Pvt, India), erythromycin (erythromycine stearate 500 mg, Cipla Ltd, India), amoxicillin (amoxicillin trihydrate 500 mg, Maxheal Pharmaceutical Ltd, India) and ciprofloxacin (ZOFLOX, ciprofloxacine 750 mg, Odypharm) used as reference antibiotics were purchased from a local pharmacy. p-Iodonitrotetrazolium chloride (INT, Sigma-Aldrich) was used as a microbial growth indicator (Mativandlela et al. 2006 ). Columbia agar supplemented with 5% (v/v) lacked horse blood (SR0048 Oxoid, Basingstoke, England) and 1% (v/v) Vitox was used for the activation of the tested clinical strains while Brian Heart Infusion (BHI) broth supplemented with 5% horse serum was used for antibacterial assays. CampyGen gas park (CN0024A Oxoid, Basingstoke, England) was used to generate microaerophilic conditions of culture.

Isolation and Identification of H. pylori

The isolation of H. pylori from biopsy specimens was performed as described previously22 . Briefly, biopsy specimens were aseptically rolled over the surface of Columbia blood agar base plates under a biological safety cabinet (Thermo Fischer Scientific). The agar (Oxoid CM0331) was supplemented with 7% horse serum (Oxoid SR0048), 1% vitamin mix (Isovitale-X), and an H. pylori selective supplement (Dent, SR0147E Oxoid) comprising of amphotericin B (2.5 mg), trimethoprim (2.5 mg), vancomycin (5.0 mg), and cefsulodin (2.5 mg). The plates were incubated at 37 °C in an atmosphere of 85% N2, 10% CO2 and 5% O2 for 4–10 days. H. pylori colonies were identified as small, round, translucent, Gram-negative bacteria and positive for catalase, oxidase and urease tests. The confirmed isolates were frozen in Brucella broth containing 20% glycerol and stored at −80 °C for future use.

Isolation and Identification of Helicobacter pylori

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Gastric antral biopsies were placed in 20% glucose solution [23 ], then chopped, and inoculated on Columbia blood agar (CM0331B; Oxoid) supplemented with Dent’s H. pylori selective medium (SR0147E; Oxoid) and 7% laked horse blood (SR0048; Oxoid). Plates were incubated at 37 °C for up to 7 days in a moist microaerophilic atmosphere of 10% CO2, 5% O2, and 85% N2 established using a Campylobacter gas generating kit (BR0056A, Oxoid). After 3 days of initial incubation, plates were evaluated for growth on a daily basis. Where no growth of H. pylori was observed after incubation for 7 days, plates were recorded as negative for H. pylori culture. Following positive growth, individual small rounded, translucent colony-forming units (CFU) were selected and subcultured twice to ensure pure cultures. Isolates were identified as H. pylori on the basis of morphology following Gram stain, positive findings of oxidase, catalase and urease tests as per [24 (link)], and by PCR for 16S rRNA (see Table 1).

Culturing H. pylori from Gastric Biopsies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Biopsy specimens were collected from each patient and dipped into a 20% glucose solution for culturing purposes (12 ). Gastric biopsy specimens were then chopped and inoculated on Columbia blood agar media (CM0331B; Oxoid) supplemented with 7% laked horse blood (SR0048; Oxoid), which also contained Dent’s H. pylori selective medium (SR0147E; Oxoid). The culturing conditions for H. pylori growth were provided by using a Campylobacter gas-generating kit (BR0056A, Oxoid) in which a microaerophilic environment, i.e. 10% carbon dioxide (CO2), 5% oxygen (O2), and 85% nitrogen (N2), was already established. Starting after three days of incubation, the plates were checked on a daily basis for H. pylori growth; if no growth was observed after seven days, the plate was considered negative for H. pylori. Positive cultures were in the form of small rounded colonies, which were sub-cultured to obtain pure cultures. Positive isolates of H. pylori were further identified.

Presumptive H. pylori colonies were identified as small, round, translucent, Gram-negative and positive for catalase, oxidase and urease tests. The confirmed isolates were Frozen in brain heart infusion broth (BHI) containing 20% glycerol and stored at − 80 °C for future use.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
