Heterogeneity in the Helicobacter pylori vacA and cagA genes: association with gastroduodenal disease in South Africa?

Gut - 1 Oct 1999

Kidd M, Lastovica A J, Atherton J C, Louw J A

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori infection is universally associated with gastritis, but only sometimes with clinically significant disease. Candidate virulence markers seem to be useful in identifying the pathogenic infections in some populations. AIMS: To investigate the association between putative virulence markers and disease in an African population. METHODS: Fifty nine H pylori strains isolated from...
