Abstract excerpt
The polymorphism of clinical presentations associated with Helicobacter pylori infection is potentially due to differences in the virulence of individual strains. H. pylori virulence has been associated with the ability to induce secretion of interleukin-8 (IL-8), the vacA genotypes, and the cagA status. The aim of this study was to determine the virulence profiles of 153 French H. pylori isolates on the basis of...
