Antitmcmbiel activity againstHebcobaeterpylori (HP) of Omeprazolevs Esomepmzole Gatta L, Peme F, Nat& F, Ricci C, Tampieri A, D’Anna L, Miglioli M, Vain D. 1stMedical Clinic, University ofBologna, Bologna; Military Hospital, Rome,Italy s. Orsola Beckground: Several studieshave shown proton pump inhibitors (PPI) exen a specific antibacterial activity againstHp in vitro. Esomepramleis a novel PPI. It is anenantiomorphof Omepramle and expaimental studieshave shown it inhibits acid secretionmore effectivelv than Omeommle. km: to ;ompare the antimicrobial activity againstHp in vitm ofbath PPIs a&sing the m&ma1 tibitory concentration(MICs). Methods: Hp strains isolatedt&n patients who underwent endoscopyin mu unit were studied.Stock c&res were storedat -Sb in Brucellabmtb with 10% fetal calf serum (Fcs: pH 7.0) mlpplementedwith 20% glycerol. All plates were prepareted extemvoranmuslv. McFarland 4 sumensionwere meoaredin Bmcella broth frcm 72 hour aear plate &res and inoculatedwith e&em appa&s delivering 106organism ca.per spot, o& columbiaagar enrichedwith 5 % horse blood andcontaining tbc PPIs at the concentrationsranging from 0,125to 128mg/ml. The plateswere immediately incubatedat 37 C in a micmaembic atmosphere&us with GasPaks) andread after 72h.The MICs were defined as the lowest concentrationwith completegrowth inhibition. Results: So far 19 strains have beenexamined(7 duodenalulcers, I2 non ulcer dyspepsia) (m/f ,3/7, mean age48 yrs, rangeage 28-71 yrs). The MIC50 endMIC90 for Esomeorazoleand Omemw& were 16Wml. 128 ie/ml for both PPI respectively. 14 strains showedthe same sus&tibility to both Pits, h st&s were 2 to 4 folds more suscevtibleto Esomewawle, one strain wee2 fold more susceptibleta Omeerazole.No differences were ken betweens&ins coming tiom patientswith endwit&t ducdenal&er. Conclusion: Esomeprazolewas more active thenOmepremle againstone fitlh of the strains. Clinical comparativestudies are necessaryto determinew&her the superior antimicrobial activity of Esomeprazolecould enhancethe rate of eradicationHp infection.
