Direct polymerase chain reaction test for detection of Helicobacter pylori in humans and animals
1 Nov 1991
Abstract excerpt
We designed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for amplifying the Helicobacter pylori gene encoding 16S rRNA. Primers for the specific detection of H. pylori were designed for areas of the 16S rRNA gene in which there is the least sequence homology between H. pylori and its closest relatives. The specificity of detection was confirmed by ensuring that the primers did not amplify DNA extracts from the...
