Abstract excerpt
Phospholipase activity is important in bacterial pathogenicity and could contribute to the pathogenic role of Helicobacter pylori by degradation of the gastric mucus, and in maintaining long-term colonisation. Our aim was to determine the degree of variation in the phospholipase A gene (pldA) of H. pylori from different geographic locations, and to investigate links between pldA genotype and clinical disease...
