Role of 13C-Urea Breath Test in Experimental Model of Helicobacter pylori Infection in Mice

Abstract

(13) C-UBT was shown to be a reliable method for the detection of H. pylori infection in C57BL/6 mice and was even more accurate than immunohistochemistry. The use of (13) C-UBT in the mouse model of H. pylori infection can be very useful to detect the bacterium without the need to kill the animals in long-term time course studies.
