Revista medica de Chile, 2001•europepmc.org… We studied 50 patients who underwent an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, with
positive culture for H pylori. Detection of cagA and vacA genotyping was done using
polymerase chain reactions. … Of those patients in whom vacA was the only genotype
detected, 15 were s2/m2, 7 were s1/m1, 4 were s1/m2 and 1 was s2/m1. …

Aim
To genotype these genes in H pylori strains isolated from patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms.
