Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To clarify the pathological functions of the virulence factors of Helicobacter pylori, a comparative analysis was carried out on the relationship between motility, flagellar gene polymorphism, vacuolating cytotoxin (VT) production and interleukin-8 (IL-8) induction. METHODS: Twenty-five strains were examined for restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the flagellin gene. Motility was...
