To investigate the frequency of nasal Helicobacter pylori carriage among cooks living in Bolu, Ardahan and Sakarya province of Turkey. 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. Helicobacter pylori was detected in only one cook. Nasal Helicobacter pylori colonisation ratio in cooks in Turkey was found to be very low. Presumably hand hygiene compliance lowered the frequency.
