Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori is predominantly transmitted within families and infection occurs mostly in early childhood, frequently leading to persistent infection lifelong. In the present study, genetic diversity of Helicobacter pylori among North and South Indian isolates was evaluated. 16S rDNA, cagA, vacA and iceA genes were amplified followed by sequencing of respective amplicons for diversity analysis.
