Comparison of three PCR methods for detection of<i>Helicobacter pylori</i>DNA and detection of<i>cagA</i>gene in gastric biopsy specimens
1 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
AIM: To comparatively evaluate PCR and other diagnostic methods (the rapid urease test and / or culture) in order to determine which of the three PCR methods (ureA, glmM and 26-kDa, SSA gene) was most appropriate in the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori ) infection and also to evaluate the detection of a putative virulence marker of H pylori, the cagA gene, by PCR in biopsy specimens. METHODS: One...
