Identification of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> and Other <i>Helicobacter</i> Species by PCR, Hybridization, and Partial DNA Sequencing in Human Liver Samples from Patients with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis or Primary Biliary Cirrhosis

Abstract excerpt

Helicobacter pylori was identified in human liver tissue by PCR, hybridization, and partial DNA sequencing. Liver biopsies were obtained from patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (n = 12), primary biliary cirrhosis (n = 12), and noncholestatic liver cirrhosis (n = 13) and (as controls) normal livers (n = 10). PCR analyses were carried out using primers for the Helicobacter genus, Helicobacter pylori (the...
