Methods: A total of 54 cooks (10 from Bolu, 29 from Ardahan and 15 from Sakarya) were enrolled. Nasal helicobacter was tested using polymerase chain reaction. Results: Helicobacter pylori was detected in only one cook. Conclusion: Nasal Helicobacter pylori colonisation ratio in cooks in Turkey was found to be very low. Presumably hand hygiene compliance lowered the frequency.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHelicobacter PyloriCooksFrequencyNasal CarriageArticle635573575237579822-s2.0-84876857336Q4WOS:000317872600007Q4
