Department of Gastroenterology, Meath Hospital, Dublin, Republic of Ireland.

Sixty consecutive patients with endoscopically proven duodenal ulcers were given colloidal bismuth subcitrate tablets either as 120 mg q.d.s. or 240 mg b.d., in a randomized single-blind study. The efficacy of each regimen was determined by endoscopic examination and antral biopsy at 4 weeks; if the ulcer remained unhealed, treatment was continued and endoscopy repeated at 8 weeks. The ulcer-healing efficacy of the two regimens was identical; however, in the four times daily group only 27% remained Campylobacter pylori positive after 8 weeks of treatment compared with 58% of the twice-daily group. Similarly, only 21% of twice daily patients were free of histological gastritis compared with 42% of the four times daily patients.

D016480 Helicobacter pylori A spiral bacterium active as a human gastric pathogen. It is a gram-negative, urease-positive, curved or slightly spiral organism initially isolated in 1982 from patients with lesions of gastritis or peptic ulcers in Western Australia. Helicobacter pylori was originally classified in the genus CAMPYLOBACTER, but RNA sequencing, cellular fatty acid profiles, growth patterns, and other taxonomic characteristics indicate that the micro-organism should be included in the genus HELICOBACTER. It has been officially transferred to Helicobacter gen. nov. (see Int J Syst Bacteriol 1989 Oct;39(4):297-405).
