Abstract excerpt
Analysis of 32 Helicobacter pylori strains indicated a strong association between the presence of the cagA gene and a specific type of vacA allele found predominantly in cytotoxin-producing strains (P < .001). To determine whether tox+/CagA+ and tox-/CagA- strains constituted two separate noncombining lineages, sequences of the H. pylori ureC gene, cysS homologue, and the intergenic region between cysS and vacA...
