Invasive Diagnosis Techniques
 The most specific test to detect H pylori infection
is culture, but the sensitivity is usually lower than other
methods because the organism is not evenly
distributed throughout the gastric tissue.
Endoscopic diagnostic tests
 Biopsies taken at endoscopy are most
commonly for histological analysis and urease testing.
Rapid urease test (CLO test):
Biopsies of gastric mucosa are placed in a gel containing
urea, and the subsequent ammonia production causes a pH
change, which is observed as a color change

Non-invasive techniques
Urea Breath test
This test examines your breath for the
presence of Helicobacter pylori bacteria, which
can cause gastritis (inflammation of the mucous
membrane of the stomach) or ulcers in the
stomach and small intestine.

1. H. pylori Antigen ELISA Test
Kit
INTENDED USE
It is intended as an aid in the diagnosis of possible H. pylori
infection and in the follow-up of patients undergoing
antimicrobial
therapy.
PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST
 The H. pylori Antigen ELISA Test Kit is a solid phase
enzyme immunoassay based on sandwich principle for the
qualitative and quantitative detection of H. pylori antigen in
human stool.
15
Yonatan D.
 During testing, the antigens are extracted from the
specimen with extraction solution and added onto the
antibodies coated micro-well plate along with the
enzyme- conjugated antibodies to H. pylori, and then
incubated.
 If specimens contain H. pylori antigens, it will bind to the
antibodies coated on the micro-well plate and
simultaneously bind to the conjugate to form immobilized
antibody-H. pylori antigen-conjugate complexes.
 If specimens do not contain H pylori antigens, the
complexes will not be formed.
 After initial incubation, the micro-well plate is washed to
remove unbound materials.
 Substrate A and substrate B are added and then
incubated to produce a blue color indicating the amount
of H. pylori antigens present in the specimens.
16
Yonatan D.
 Sulfuric acid solution is added to the micro-well plate to
stop the reaction producing a color change from blue to
yellow.
 The color intensity, which corresponds to the amount of
H. pylori antigens present in the specimens, is measured
with a microplate reader at 450/630-700 nm or 450 nm.

SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND
PREPARATION
 Stool specimen is needed to check presence of H pylori
Antigen by H. pylori Antigen ELISA Test Kit
 Stool samples should be collected in clean containers.
 Samples can be stored in the refrigerator (2-8 °C) for 1-
2 days prior to testing.
 For longer storage, the specimen must be kept frozen
at -20ºC.
In this case, the sample should be totally thawed and
brought to room temperature before testing.
 The patient has to be asked to collect the specimen
avoiding any possible contact with urine or water.
23
Yonatan D.
 The patient submitted to the test should not be under
antibiotic or anti-bacterial treatments as this
pharmaceutical therapy is known to affect H. pylori up to
a certain extent, depending on the antibiotic used, giving
rise to false interpretation.
 If specimens are to be shipped, they should be packed in
compliance with local regulations covering the
transportation of etiologic agents.
24
Yonatan D.
PROCEDURE FOR THE ASSAY
1. Remove unused strips from the micro-well plate,
and store in the original resealable pouch at 2-
8°C.
2. Allow reagents and specimens to reach room
temperature (15- 30°C) prior to testing.
WASH PROCEDURE
a) The wash procedure is critical. Insufficient
washing will Result in a poor precision and falsely
elevated absorbance readings.
b) Prepare working wash buffer by adding content of
wash buffer bottle provided with the kit to distilled
or deionized water to reach a final volume of 1
liter. The working wash buffer is stable for 2
weeks at 15-30°C. 25
Yonatan D.

strongly recommended to read it at 630-700 nm for better
results.
29
Yonatan D.
RESULTS INTERPRETATION
Minimum detectable concentration: 0.5ng/ml
Negative: < 15 ng/ml
Positive: > 20 ng/ml
Borderline: between 15-20 ng/ml, retest is recommended.
QUALITY CONTROL
 H. pylori Control containing both negative and positive
controls be run with each batch of samples to monitor
the procedure.
 QC intervals and limits should be adapted to each
laboratories individual requirements.
 Each laboratory should establish corrective measures if
values fall outside the limits.
30
Yonatan D.
LIMITATIONS
 Diagnosis of an infectious disease should not be
established based on a single test result. Further testing,
including confirmatory testing, should be performed
before a specimen is considered positive.
 As with other sensitive immunoassays, a false positive
result may arise due to inadequate washing from the
initial test. The results may be affected due to procedural
or instrument error.
 A negative test result does not exclude the possibility of
exposure. Specimens containing precipitate may give
inconsistent test results.
31
Yonatan D.
2. Rapid Antigen test
INTENDED USE
 One Step H. pylori Antigen Test is an in vitro qualitative
immunochromatographic assay for the rapid detection of
Helicobacter pylori antigens in human stool specimen.
 The test results are intended to aid in the diagnosis of H.
pylori infection, to monitor the effectiveness of therapeutic
treatment and to confirm the eradication of H. pylori in
peptic ulcer patients.
 The test detects directly antigens in specimens for an
active infection.
 The test is simple and easy to perform and the test results
can be visually interpreted within 15 minutes
32
Yonatan D.
PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST
 It is a sandwich solid phase immunochromatographic
assay.
 To perform the test, an aliquot of diluted stool sample is
added to the sample well of the test cassette.
 The sample flows through a label pad containing H.
pylori antibody coupled to red-colored colloidal gold.
 If the sample contains H. pylori antigens, the antigen will
bind to the antibody coated on the colloidal gold particles
to form antigen-antibody-gold complexes.
 These complexes move on the nitrocellulose membrane
by capillary action toward the test line region on which
H. pylori specific antibodies are immobilized.
33
Yonatan D.
 As the complexes reach the test line, they will bind to the
antibody on the membrane in the form of a line.
 A second red control line will always appear in the result
window to indicate that the test has been correctly
performed and the test device functions properly.
 If H. pylori antigen is not present or lower than the
detection limit of the test, only the control line will be
visible.
 If the control line dose not developed, the test is invalid.
34
Yonatan D.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
 For in vitro diagnostic use.
 Wear protective glove while handling kit components
and test specimens.
 Patient specimens and inactivated Positive Control may
contain infectious agents and should be handled and
disposed of as potential biohazards.
 Do not use kit components beyond expiration date.
 Dispose all used materials in appropriate container.
Treat as potential biohazard.

Yonatan D.
INTERPRETATION
Negative: H. pylori IgG EIA Index less than 0.90 is
seronegative for IgG antibody to H. pylori. The serum
sample may have been taken too early.
Equivocal: H. pylori IgG EIA Index between 0.91-0.99
is equivocal. Retest In a parallel fashion with a new
serum Sample drawn 3 weeks later.
Positive: H. pylori IgG EIA Index of 1.00 or greater is
seropositive.
QUALITY CONTROL
The test run may be considered valid provided the
following criteria are met:
 The O.D. value of the reagent blank against air from
a micro-well reader should be less than 0.250.
 If the O.D. value of the Cut-off Calibrator is lower
than 0.250, the test is not valid and must be
repeated.

Yonatan D.
4.Rapid detection of Antibodies
to H. pylori
INTENDED USE
The H. Pylori Rapid Test is a chromatographic immunoassay
(CIA) for the rapid determination of antibodies to H. pylori in
serum and/or whole blood specimens.
PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST
 The CD H. pylori Antibody Rapid Test is a lateral flow
immunochromatographic screening test.
 H. pylori specific antigens are pre-coated onto membrane
as a capture reagent on the test band region.
 During the assay the whole blood or serum specimen is
first allowed to react with H. pylori specific antigen-gold
conjugate complexes.
 The mixture then moves laterally on the membrane to the
test region which is coated with immobilized antibodies to
H. pylori. 53
Yonatan D.
 If H. pylori antibodies are present in the specimen, a color
band is formed on the test (T) region.
 Absence of the colored band in the test region indicates a
negative result.
 To serve as a procedural control, a colored band in the
control (C) region will always appear regardless the
presence of H. pylori antibodies in the whole blood and/or
serum specimen
54
Yonatan D.
PRECAUTIONS
 Do not use after expiration date printed on the outside of
the foil pouch.
 Test device should remain sealed until ready for use.
 There should be no smoking or eating where antigen-

3. Read the result within 10 minutes.
58
Yonatan D.
INTERPRETATION OF
RESULTS
Positive: Presence of two colored
bands, one in the control region
(C) and another in the test region
(T), indicates presence of
antibodies to H. pylori in specimen.
Negative: Presence of a colored
band in the control region (C) with
no band in the test region (T)
indicates absence of antibodies to
H. pylori in the specimen.
Invalid: If after 10 minutes no band
is visible, or if a band appears in
the test region (T) only, the result is
invalid.
If invalid, the assay should be
repeated using a new lest kit.

H pylori lab diagnosis.pptx

  • 1. Helicobacter pylori SEROLOGICAL AND OTHER LAB DIAGNOSIS Yonatan Demeke Jimma, Ethiopia AUG, 2022 1 Yonatan D.
  • 2. OBJECTIVES Up on completion to this presentation you will be able to:  know about H pylori definition and background  Know diagnostic method of H pylori  List available serological test for H pylori with their:- Intended use Principle Precaution Limitation Interpretation and Quality Control 2 Yonatan D.
  • 4. INTRODUCTION  Most common chronic bacterial infection in world. Key constituent of human micro biome.  Gram negative Spiral shape  Multiple unipolar flagella – moves freely  Produces urease  Micro-aerophillic  3 μm long with a diameter of about 0.5 μm  More common in low socioeconomic status  Humans are major reservoir Housing density, crowded conditions in the home, number of siblings, sharing a bed, and lack of hot running water 4 Yonatan D.
  • 5. TRANSMISSION  Gastro oral route  Feco oral route  Oral - Oral route Person to person transmission  Developing countries Contaminated water  Inadequately disinfected endoscopic devices 5 Yonatan D.
  • 9. Diagnosis of H. Pylori INVASIVE  Histopathology  Rapid Urease Test  Culture  PCR NON INVASIVE  Urea Breath Test  Serology 9 Yonatan D.
  • 10. Invasive Diagnosis Techniques  The most specific test to detect H pylori infection is culture, but the sensitivity is usually lower than other methods because the organism is not evenly distributed throughout the gastric tissue. Endoscopic diagnostic tests  Biopsies taken at endoscopy are most commonly for histological analysis and urease testing. Rapid urease test (CLO test): Biopsies of gastric mucosa are placed in a gel containing urea, and the subsequent ammonia production causes a pH change, which is observed as a color change 10 Yonatan D.
  • 12. Non-invasive techniques Urea Breath test This test examines your breath for the presence of Helicobacter pylori bacteria, which can cause gastritis (inflammation of the mucous membrane of the stomach) or ulcers in the stomach and small intestine. 12 Yonatan D.
  • 14. SEROLOGICAL TESTS 1. Detection of H pylori antigen  H. pylori Antigen ELISA Test Kit  Rapid Antigen test 2. Detection of specific anti-H pylori IgG antibodies  Helicobacter pylori IgG ELISA Kit  rapid detection of Antibodies to H. pylori 14 Yonatan D.
  • 15. 1. H. pylori Antigen ELISA Test Kit INTENDED USE It is intended as an aid in the diagnosis of possible H. pylori infection and in the follow-up of patients undergoing antimicrobial therapy. PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST  The H. pylori Antigen ELISA Test Kit is a solid phase enzyme immunoassay based on sandwich principle for the qualitative and quantitative detection of H. pylori antigen in human stool. 15 Yonatan D.
  • 16.  During testing, the antigens are extracted from the specimen with extraction solution and added onto the antibodies coated micro-well plate along with the enzyme- conjugated antibodies to H. pylori, and then incubated.  If specimens contain H. pylori antigens, it will bind to the antibodies coated on the micro-well plate and simultaneously bind to the conjugate to form immobilized antibody-H. pylori antigen-conjugate complexes.  If specimens do not contain H pylori antigens, the complexes will not be formed.  After initial incubation, the micro-well plate is washed to remove unbound materials.  Substrate A and substrate B are added and then incubated to produce a blue color indicating the amount of H. pylori antigens present in the specimens. 16 Yonatan D.
  • 17.  Sulfuric acid solution is added to the micro-well plate to stop the reaction producing a color change from blue to yellow.  The color intensity, which corresponds to the amount of H. pylori antigens present in the specimens, is measured with a microplate reader at 450/630-700 nm or 450 nm. 17 Yonatan D.
  • 18. PRECAUTIONS  Follow the instructions for use carefully.  Wear protective clothing and disposable gloves when dealing with samples and reagents. Wash hands after operations  Do not use reagents beyond the labeled expiry date.  Do not mix or use components from kits with different batch codes.  Avoid cross contamination between reagents to ensure valid test results.  Follow the wash procedure to ensure optimum assay performance  Use a new pipette tip for each specimen assayed. 18 Yonatan D.
  • 19. SPECIFIC MATERIALS AND REAGENT USED 1. H Pylori Antibody Micro- well Plate 2. H pylori Antibody Conjugate 3. Concentrated Wash Buffer (25x) 4. Substrate A and B 5. Stop Solution 6. Freshly distilled or deionized water. 7. Sodium hypochlorite solution for decontamination. 8. Disposable gloves. 9. Automated processor 10. Vortex mixer for specimen mixing (optional). 11. Disposable reagent reservoirs. 19 Yonatan D.
  • 21. COLOR CODES OF REAGENTS Blue-sample dilution Yellow-for conjugate dilution - Brown-Substrate - Blue cap -negative control. - Red- positive control Transparent- Concentrated wash solution Transparent with red cap -stop solution 21 Yonatan D.
  • 22. STORAGE AND STABILITY  Components of the kit will remain stable through the expiration date indicated on the label and package when stored between 2-8°C  Place unused wells in the zip-lock aluminum foiled pouch and return to 2-8 °C, under which conditions the wells will remain stable for 3 months from the opening date.  Do not expose reagents especially the Substrate to strong light or hypochlorite fumes during storage or incubation steps.  Do not store Stop Solution in a shallow dish or return it 22 Yonatan D.
  • 23. SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND PREPARATION  Stool specimen is needed to check presence of H pylori Antigen by H. pylori Antigen ELISA Test Kit  Stool samples should be collected in clean containers.  Samples can be stored in the refrigerator (2-8 °C) for 1- 2 days prior to testing.  For longer storage, the specimen must be kept frozen at -20ºC. In this case, the sample should be totally thawed and brought to room temperature before testing.  The patient has to be asked to collect the specimen avoiding any possible contact with urine or water. 23 Yonatan D.
  • 24.  The patient submitted to the test should not be under antibiotic or anti-bacterial treatments as this pharmaceutical therapy is known to affect H. pylori up to a certain extent, depending on the antibiotic used, giving rise to false interpretation.  If specimens are to be shipped, they should be packed in compliance with local regulations covering the transportation of etiologic agents. 24 Yonatan D.
  • 25. PROCEDURE FOR THE ASSAY 1. Remove unused strips from the micro-well plate, and store in the original resealable pouch at 2- 8°C. 2. Allow reagents and specimens to reach room temperature (15- 30°C) prior to testing. WASH PROCEDURE a) The wash procedure is critical. Insufficient washing will Result in a poor precision and falsely elevated absorbance readings. b) Prepare working wash buffer by adding content of wash buffer bottle provided with the kit to distilled or deionized water to reach a final volume of 1 liter. The working wash buffer is stable for 2 weeks at 15-30°C. 25 Yonatan D.
  • 26. 3. Dispense 1 mL of Extraction Solution into Specimen Extraction tube. For Solid Stool Specimens: i. Take out the cap of the Specimen Extraction Tube ii. Randomly stab the specimen collection stick into the stool specimen in at least 3 different sites to collect approximately 30 mg of specimen (equivalent to 1/4 of a pea). Do not scoop the stool specimen. iii. Transfer into Specimen Extraction Tube. For Liquid Stool Specimens: i. Hold the Liquid Specimen Dropper vertically. ii. Aspirate stool specimens and then dispense 2 drops (approximately 50 μL) into the Specimen Extraction Tube containing the Extraction Solution. iii. Screw on and tighten the cap onto the Specimen Extraction Tube. iv. Shake the Specimen Extraction Tube vigorously to mix the specimen and the Extraction Solution. 26 Yonatan D.
  • 27. 4. Leave A1 as Blank well. 5. Dispense 50 μL of Calibrator 1 in wells B1 and C1. (Yellow Reagent) 6. Dispense 50 μL of Calibrator 2 in wells D1 and E1. (Blue Reagent) 7. Dispense 50 μL of Calibrator 3 in wells F1 and G1. (Blue Reagent) 8. Dispense 50 μL of Calibrator 4 in wells H1 and A2. (Blue Reagent) 9. Hold the Specimen Extraction Tube upright and break off the tip of the tube. Invert the Specimen Extraction Tube and dispense 2 drops of the specimen Extraction Solution (approx. 50 μL) to assigned wells starting at B2. (Yellow Reagent) 27 Yonatan D.
  • 28. 10. Dispense 50 μL of Conjugate to each well except for the Blank well. (Red Reagent) 11. Mix gently by swirling the micro-well plate on a flat bench for 30 seconds. 12. Cover the micro-well plate with the Plate Sealer and incubate at room temperature (15-30°C) in a room, a water bath, or an incubator for 60 minutes ± 5 minutes. 13. Remove the Plate Sealer. 14. Wash each well 5 times with 350 μL of Working Wash Buffer per well, and then remove the liquid. 15. Turn the micro-well plate upside down on absorbent tissue for a few seconds. Ensure that all wells have been completely washed and dried. Note: Improper washing may cause false positive results. 16. Dispense 50 μL of Substrate A to each well. (Clear Reagent) 28 Yonatan D.
  • 29. 17. Dispense 50 μL of Substrate B to each well. (Clear Reagent) Then a blue color should develop in wells containing Positive specimens. 18.

  • 30. RESULTS INTERPRETATION Minimum detectable concentration: 0.5ng/ml Negative: < 15 ng/ml Positive: > 20 ng/ml Borderline: between 15-20 ng/ml, retest is recommended. QUALITY CONTROL  H. pylori Control containing both negative and positive controls be run with each batch of samples to monitor the procedure.  QC intervals and limits should be adapted to each laboratories individual requirements.  Each laboratory should establish corrective measures if values fall outside the limits. 30 Yonatan D.
  • 31. LIMITATIONS  Diagnosis of an infectious disease should not be established based on a single test result. Further testing, including confirmatory testing, should be performed before a specimen is considered positive.  As with other sensitive immunoassays, a false positive result may arise due to inadequate washing from the initial test. The results may be affected due to procedural or instrument error.  A negative test result does not exclude the possibility of exposure. Specimens containing precipitate may give inconsistent test results. 31 Yonatan D.
  • 32. 2. Rapid Antigen test INTENDED USE  One Step H. pylori Antigen Test is an in vitro qualitative immunochromatographic assay for the rapid detection of Helicobacter pylori antigens in human stool specimen.  The test results are intended to aid in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection, to monitor the effectiveness of therapeutic treatment and to confirm the eradication of H. pylori in peptic ulcer patients.  The test detects directly antigens in specimens for an active infection.  The test is simple and easy to perform and the test results can be visually interpreted within 15 minutes 32 Yonatan D.
  • 33. PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST  It is a sandwich solid phase immunochromatographic assay.  To perform the test, an aliquot of diluted stool sample is added to the sample well of the test cassette.  The sample flows through a label pad containing H. pylori antibody coupled to red-colored colloidal gold.  If the sample contains H. pylori antigens, the antigen will bind to the antibody coated on the colloidal gold particles to form antigen-antibody-gold complexes.  These complexes move on the nitrocellulose membrane by capillary action toward the test line region on which H. pylori specific antibodies are immobilized. 33 Yonatan D.
  • 34.  As the complexes reach the test line, they will bind to the antibody on the membrane in the form of a line.  A second red control line will always appear in the result window to indicate that the test has been correctly performed and the test device functions properly.  If H. pylori antigen is not present or lower than the detection limit of the test, only the control line will be visible.  If the control line dose not developed, the test is invalid. 34 Yonatan D.
