Abstract excerpt
Prevalence of outer inflammatory protein (oipA) gene functional status in Helicobacter pylori strains from Southeastern Europe is still unclear. H. pylori strains from 70 symptomatic patients were polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assessed for cagA and vacA types, and oipA gene functional status was evaluated by PCR and sequencing. Our results demonstrated a high prevalence of strains with oipA status "on" genes...
