Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori strain diversity was investigated in infected persons by collection of multiple biopsies before and after therapy failure. It was demonstrated by random amplification of polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction that patients may be infected with a mixed population of H. pylor...
