Abstract excerpt
The population biology of 78 Helicobacter pylori strains (71 from Swiss Italian, 4 from East Asian and 3 from South African patients) was investigated by sequence analysis of four housekeeping genes: atpD, scoB, glnA and recA. The vacA genotype, the presence of cagA and IS605, the iceA allelic type, and the resistance to metronidazole, clarithromycin and amoxycillin were determined. A high percentage of DNA...
