Biotypes, ribosomal RNA gene restriction patterns (ribopatterns), whole-cell protein patterns and plasmid profiles of paired Helicobacter pylori isolates from 17 patients were examined. Each pair comprised a pre- and a post-treatment isolate; nine of the 17 post-treatment isolates were obtained after treatment with tripotassium dicitrate bismuthate (De-Nol) and metronidazole. All strains of H. pylori had identical biotypes, but exhibited diversity between pairs in their molecular fingerprints. Each of the 17 strain pairs had unique ribopatterns; the pre- and post-treatment isolates in most pairs (16 of 17) were similar or identical, irrespective of metronidazole susceptibility. DNA subtype variants were detected in three patient sets. Although nine post-treatment isolates had acquired resistance to metronidazole, most (six of nine) resembled the pre-treatment isolates in their ribopattern, protein and plasmid profiles. No significant correlation was observed between metronidazole resistance and plasmid content in these H. pylori isolates. Emergence of post-treatment metronidazole-resistant isolates of H. pylori was associated only rarely with colonisation by a novel strain or acquisition of a plasmid and, in most patients, probably resulted from spontaneous emergence of resistance in the original infecting strain.
