Abstract excerpt
The aim of this work was to determine current cagA gene EPIYA motifs present in Colombian Helicobacter pylori isolates using a fast and reliable molecular test. DNA from eighty-five Helicobacter pylori-cagA positive strains were analyzed. Strains were obtained from patients diagnosed with functional dyspepsia at Clínica Fundadores in Bogotá. The 3' region of the cagA gene was amplified through conventional...
