Abstract
Description
Background technique
[0001] Infections caused by Helicobacter pylori are a major public health problem because their control is very expensive. This situation has led to a need for tools to detect risk factors associated with this condition. However, there are currently no commercially available microbial assays to detect virulent strains.
[0002] Since there are currently no reliable laboratory tools for the detection of H. pylori, eradication therapy for this bacterium is based only on qualitative methods, and there are no treatments or treatments to measure the virulence of H. pylori.
[0003] Existing methods only indicate the presence or absence of microorganisms, but do not reveal the nature or identity of the infecting strain. Another important aspect is that only very sporadic endoscopic studies have been performed in children, so there are very few data on infections in this age group.
[0004] According to reports worldwide, eradication therapy fails in 20% to 80...
