Helicobacter pylori and Interleukin 1 Genotyping: An Opportunity to Identify High-Risk Individuals for Gastric Carcinoma (2002)

Figueiredo, Céu, Machado, José Carlos, Pharoah, Paul, Seruca, Raquel, Sousa, Sónia, Carvalho, Ralph, ...

Background: Both Helicobacter pylori genotype and host genetic polymorphisms play a role in determining the clinical consequences of H. pylori infection. We investigated whether there are any...

Distinct Variants of Helicobacter pylori cagA Are Associated with vacA Subtypes

Van Doorn, Leen-Jan, Figueiredo, Céu, Sanna, Ricardo, Blaser, Martin J., Quint, Wim G. V.

The diversity of the cytotoxin-associated gene (cagA) of Helicobacter pylori was analyzed in 45 isolates obtained from nine countries. We examined variation in the 5′ end of the cagA open reading...

Assessment of Helicobacter pylori vacA and cagA Genotypes and Host Serological Response

Figueiredo, Céu, Quint, Wim, Nouhan, Nathalie, Van Den Munckhof, Henk, Herbrink, Paul, Scherpenisse, Joost, ...

Helicobacter pylori strains can be distinguished by genotyping of virulence-associated genes, such as vacA and cagA. Because serological discrimination between strain types would reduce the need for...

Expanding Allelic Diversity of Helicobacter pylori vacA

Van Doorn, Leen-Jan, Figueiredo, Céu, Sanna, Ricardo, Pena, Salvador, Midolo, Peter, Ng, Enders K. W., ...

The diversity of the gene encoding the vacuolating cytotoxin (vacA) of Helicobacter pylori was analyzed in 98 isolates obtained from different geographic locations. The studies focused on variation...

Helicobacter pylori Genotypes May Determine Gastric Histopathology

Nogueira, Cristina, Figueiredo, Céu, Carneiro, Fátima, Taveira Gomes, António, Barreira, Raul, Figueira, Paulo, ...

The outcome of Helicobacter pylori infection has been associated with specific virulence-associated bacterial genotypes. The present study aimed to investigate the gastric histopathology in...

Helicobacter pylori induces β3GnT5 in human gastric cell lines, modulating expression of the SabA ligand sialyl–Lewis x

Marcos, Nuno T., Magalhães, Ana, Ferreira, Bibiana, Oliveira, Maria J., Carvalho, Ana S., Mendes, Nuno, ...

Chronic Helicobacter pylori infection is recognized as a cause of gastric cancer. H. pylori adhesion to gastric cells is mediated by bacterial adhesins such as sialic acid–binding adhesin (SabA),...
