PCR and RFLP Analysis for Identification and Typing of Helicobacter pylori Strains from Gastric Biopsy Specimens

PCR and RFLP Analysis for Identification and Typing of Helicobacter pylori Strains from Gastric Biopsy Specimens

Helicobacter pylori is the causative agent of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer diseases and is also a risk factor for gastric cancer. Since culture of Helicobacter pylori is relatively insensitive and cumbersome, PCR-based molecular detection and typing of this organism is gaining importance for strain differentiation. The aim of present study was to apply molecular methods for detection and ...

Differentiation of Helicobacter pylori strains directly from gastric biopsy specimens by PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis without culture.

Recent studies have shown the usefulness of PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis for differentiating Helicobacter pylori strains isolated by culture. For this study, a PCR-based RFLP assay was developed for directly typing H. pylori strains from gastric biopsy specimens. Nineteen gastric biopsy specimens obtained from patients undergoing endoscopy for gastrointesti...

identification of gastric cancer-related strains of helicobacter pylori: findings from single biopsy specimens for pcr and campylobacter-like organism test

conclusions this study suggests that the vaca pcr can be very useful in diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of patients with gastritis and pud. the pcr assay and clo test can complement and confirm each other in identification and eradication of cancer-related strains of h. pylori. the exclusion of patients with suspected achlorhydria from the study is likely a reason for the lack of false posi...

[Detection of Helicobacter pylori in gastric biopsy and resection specimens].

AIM To compare the sensitivity of detecting H. pylori in gastric biopsy and resection specimens using modified Giemsa stain and immunohistochemistry, using a commercially available anti-H. pylori antibody (Dako, Denmark). METHODS Gastric antral biopsy specimens showing chronic gastritis (28 cases) together with tissue blocks from gastrectomy specimens for duodenal ulcer (2 cases) were stained...

prevalence of the caga-positive helicobacter pylori strains isolated from gastric biopsy specimens in shahrekord

abstract: introduction & objective: helicobacter pylori are among the important pathogens responsible for chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. the present study aimed to comparatively evaluate pcr and rut methods for detection of h. pylori and determination of the prevalence of the cagapositive helicobacter pylori strains in shahrekord. materials & methods: this is a molecular ep...
