Abstract
The cagA gene was detected in 100% of 16 Helicobacter pylori isolates from patients with gastric carcinoma versus 78% of 18 isolates from patients with duodenal ulcers (P = 0.344) and only 64% of 22 isolates from patients with gastritis only (P = 0.005) in Brazil. Also, there was a significant association between isolation of cagA+ s1-type vacA H. pylori in cases of stomach cancer and ulcers as opposed to cases of gastritis only (P = 0.004), but this was not true in Houston (P = 0.238), where 94% of all isolates were cagA+.Entities:
