    AIM: To identify the frequency of bacterial growth, the most commonly grown bacteria and their antibiotic susceptibility, and risk factors for bacterial colonization in bile collected from patients with different biliary diseases. METHODS: This prospective study was conducted between April 2010 and August 2011. Patients with various biliary disorders were included. Bile was aspirated by placing a single-use, 5F, standard sphincterotome catheter into the bile duct before the injection of contrast agent during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP). Bile specimens were transported to the microbiology laboratory in blood culture bottles within an anaerobic transport system. Bacteria were cultured and identified according to the standard protocol used in our clinical microbiology laboratory. The susceptibilities of the organisms recovered were identified using antimicrobial disks, chosen according to the initial gram stain of the positive cultures. RESULTS: Ninety-one patients (27% male, mean age 53.7 +/- 17.5 years, range: 17-86 years) were included in the study. The main indication for ERCP was benign biliary disease in 79 patients and malignant disease in 12 patients. The bile culture was positive for bacterial growth in 46 out of 91 (50.5%) patients. The most frequently encountered organisms were Gram-negative bacteria including Escherichia coli (28.2%), Pseudomonas (17.3%) and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (15.2%). There were no significant differences between patients with malignant and benign disease (58% vs 49%, P = 0.474), patients with acute cholangitis and without acute cholangitis (52.9% vs 50%, P = 0.827), patients who were empirically administered antibiotics before intervention and not administered (51.4% vs 60.7%, P = 0.384), with regard to the bacteriobilia. We observed a large covering spectrum or low resistance to meropenem, amikacin and imipenem. CONCLUSION: We did not find a significant risk factor for bacteriobilia in patients with biliary obstruction. A bile sample for microbiological analysis may become a valuable diagnostic tool as it leads to more accurate selection of antibiotics for the treatment of cholangitis. (c) 2012 Baishideng.

    What is the incidence of celiac disease in patients with microscopic colitis? Why are these two diseases related?
    (Termedia Publishing House Ltd, 2024) Ebik, Berat; Ekin, Nazim; Bacaksiz, Ferhat; Uzel, Ali; Akkuzu, Mustafa Zanyar; Ucmak, Feyzullah; Kaya, Muhsin
    Introduction: Although there are studies in the literature showing that celiac disease (CD) is more common in patients with microscopic colitis (MC), there are publications to the contrary. The pathophysiologies of both diseases are different from each other. Aim: To investigate the frequency of CD in MC patients, the different features of these 2 diseases, and the relationship between them. Material and methods: In our prospective and cross-sectional analytical study, the presence of CD was investigated in 90 patients diagnosed with MC by colonoscopy and biopsy due to chronic diarrhoea between September 2011 and December 2021. Results: We detected MC in 102 (9.3%) of 1096 patients investigated for chronic diarrhoea. We detected CD in 1 (1.1%) of 90 patients with MC who participated in the study. Only 10% of the patients were positive for AGA IgA, 3.3% for EMA IgA, and 2.2% for Anti-TG2 IgA. There was no difference in autoantibody titre in treatment-responsive and treatment-resistant MC patients. HLA DQ2 was positive in 32.2% (n = 29) of the MC patients, and HLA DQ8 was found in 5.5% (n = 5). Intraepithelial lymphocyte increase was remarkable in the duodenal biopsies of MC patients who did not respond to treatment (40% vs. 11.4%; p = 0.007). Conclusions: We did not reach the conclusion that CD is more common in MC patients. An increase in IEL may also occur in the small intestine in patients with MC who do not respond to treatment.
