Abstract excerpt
There is a lack of evidence of genetic variation in the Helicobacter pylori cag-PAI in Thailand, a region with the low incidence of gastric cancer. To clarify this issue, variation in the H. pylori cag-PAI in strains detected in Thailand was characterized and simultaneously compared with strains isolated from a high-risk population in Korea. The presence of ten gene clusters within cag-PAI (cagA, cagE, cagG,...
