Polymerase chain reaction based analysis of the cytotoxin associated gene pathogenicity island of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> from saliva: An approach for rapid molecular genotyping in relation to disease status

Abstract

Saliva could be efficiently used as a non-invasive source for H. pylori and cagT might be an important locus of the cag PAI, thus greatly influencing the disease condition of the subjects.
