conclusions results indicates that antigenic region of recombinant caga protein were recognized as an antigen , so it might be a candidate for the development of h. pylori vaccine, elisa kit designs and serological diagnosis of h. pylori infections. background helicobacter pylori is a human pathogen that causes chronic gastritis, which playsrole in gastric and duodenal ulcers, is also involved ...

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...

background : data concerning the information on the prevalence and association of the helicobacter pylori cytotoxinassociated gene a (caga) with disease is still controversial. the aim of this study was to isolate and identify h. pylori by culture methode from biopsy specimens and its relationship with associated diseases by molecular techniques (pcr). materials and methods: gastric biopsy spec...

background: helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) cytotoxin and its heterogeneity amongst strains has been closely linked to the varying infection-associated clinical outcomes. in order to determine the decisive role of the vacuolating cytotoxin (vaca) gene mosaicism in its corresponding gene expression and phenotype, we aimed to characterize vaca alleles of different h. pylori strains in addition to...

Aeromonas hydrophila secretes several extracellular proteins including enterotoxin, hemolysin and aerolysin that are associated with the bacterial virulence. Previous studies have shown that two hemolytic toxins, hemolysin A and aerolysin A contribute to the virulence of Aeromonas hydrophila. In the current study, a total of 50 strains of Aeromonas hydrophila, including 28 (56%) strains isolate...

objective(s):helicobacter pylori infection occurs worldwide, but the prevalence of this infection varies greatly among different countries and population groups. the aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of anti-helicobacter pylori and anti-cytotoxin-associated gene a (caga) antibodies in asymptomatic healthy population in the center of iran and to investigate the relation with ...

Helicobacter pylori is the leading bacterial cause of food-borne illness worldwide and plays a major role in the development of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer. Strains isolated from patients contain the cagA gene (cytotoxin-associated gene A) and produce the vacuolating cytotoxin, VacA. Recent molecular and cellular studies of VacA action have begun to unravel its structure...
