Abstract excerpt
Genetic diversity in Helicobacter pylori strains may affect the function and antigenicity of virulence factors associated with bacterial infection and, ultimately, disease outcome. In this study, DNA diversity of H. pylori isolates was examined by analysis of vacA genotypes and by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of H. pylori-associated genes (vacA, cagA,flaA, ureAB, and ureCD)....
