Abstract excerpt
Isolates of Helicobacter pylori from 88 patients were characterised by cagA status, cagA pathogenicity island (PAI) right-end motifs, iceA, vacA and lspA-glmM genotypes, primarily by PCR-based analysis, to investigate whether Argentinean isolates differed from those recovered in southern Europe or other Latin American countries. PCR-based analysis of vacA alleles was confirmed by reverse hybridisation in 56...
