Abstract excerpt
The histological parameters of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) gastritis are dependent on the virulence factor profile of the microbe, which includes the cytotoxins vacA (vacuolating cytotoxin A) and cagA (cytotoxin-associated gene A) as well as the duration of infection. The virulence factor genotypes vacA and cagA were assessed by the line probe reverse hybridization assay INNO-LiPA and correlated with the...
