متن کاملThe interrelationship between cytotoxin-associated gene A, vacuolating cytotoxin, and Helicobacter pylori-related diseases.
The interrelationship between cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA), vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA), and Helicobacter pylori-related diseases was investigated in 155 H. pylori-infected patients. Four (7%) of 60 subjects had mixed cagA+ and cagA- H. pylori infections. The H. pylori isolates from 98.3% of 121 patients with anti-CagA antibodies were cagA+. The occurrence of cagA+ H. pylori among 76 pat...
