Аннотация
The aim of the study was to evaluate the frequency and characteristics of mixed (multiple-genotype) Helicobacter pylori infections (MGIs) in 155 Bulgarian symptomatic patients (21 children and 134 adults). MGIs were common (36.1%), including double-strain (34.8%) and triple-strain infections (1.3%). None of the 8 ulcer patients harbored multiple subtypes. We detected 18 multiple allelic combinations, of which the most frequent subtypes (17.4%) were vacA s1as2 and vacA s1cs2. The 2 patients with triple-strain infections had vacA s1bs1cs2i1i2/iceA1A2 and vacA s1as1cs2 subtypes. They were both adult men with chronic gastritis and both were examined in 2022. The prevalence of MGIs (51.7%) was 2-fold higher in 2020 to 2022 than in 2015 to 2019 (26.3%). Putative factors for the increase may be the patient's characteristics and COVID-19 pandemic-associated factors. MGI rates corresponded to the high infection seroprevalence (72.4% in 2011) in Bulgaria. The evolution and clinical importance of mixed H. pylori infections merit extensive evaluation.
