Some amoxicillin-resistant strains of H. pylori show a sharp decrease in amoxicillin resistance after freezing. In China, most clinical gastric mucosal specimens are frozen and transported for isolation and drug susceptibility testing for H. pylori , which may lead to an underestimation of the amoxicillin resistance. The objective of this study is to investigated reasons for the decreased amoxicillin resistance after cryopreservation. A high-level amoxicillin-resistant clone (NX24r) was obtained through amoxicillin pressure screening. After cryopreservation at -80 °C for 3 months, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of NX24r was reduced sharply. Mutations and changes of transcriptome were analyzed after amoxicillin screening and cryopreservation. Mutations in PBP1 (I370T, E428K, T556S) and HefC (M337K, L378F, D976V) were detected in NX24r, which may be the main reason for the induced amoxicillin resistance. No mutations were found in PBP1 or HefC after cryopreservation. However, transcriptome analysis showed that down-regulated genes in the cryopreserved clone were significantly enriched in plasma membrane (GO:0005886), including lepB , secD , gluP , hp0871 and hp1071 . These plasma membrane genes are involved in the biosynthesis and transport function of the membrane. The decreased amoxicillin resistance after cryopreservation may be related to the down-regulation of genes involved in membrane structure and transport function.
