H. pylori virulence factors.

British medical bulletin - 1 Jan 1998

Atherton J C

Abstract excerpt

Among people infected with Helicobacter pylori, the virulence of the infecting strain is a major determinant of who develops disease. Strains producing vacuolating cytotoxin activity are more commonly isolated from people with peptic ulcers than without. The gene encoding the toxin, vacA, varies between strains, especially in its signal sequence and mid regions. vacA genotype influences cytotoxin activity, and...
