Identification of Helicobacter in gastric biopsies by PCR based on 16S rDNA sequences: a matter of little significance for the prediction of H. pylori-associated gastritis?

Abstract excerpt

The aim of the present study was to correlate molecular evidence of the presence of Helicobacter pylori in gastric biopsy samples, based on analysis of 16S rDNA, vacuolating toxin (vacA), urease A (ureA) and cagA genes, with the clinical, histological and serological findings in patients with H. pylori-associated gastritis. Fresh biopsy samples were collected from the gastric antrum and corpus of 22 asymptomatic...
