Journal Article
Memon, A. A., Hussein, N. R., Miendje Deyi, V. Y., Burette, A., & Atherton, J. C. (2014). Vacuolating cytotoxin genotypes are strong markers of gastric cancer and duodenal ulcer-associated Helicobacter pylori strains: A matched case-control study. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 52(8), 2984-2989. doi:10.1128/JCM.00551-14

The Helicobacter pylori virulence gene, cagA, and active forms of the vacuolating cytotoxin gene, vacA, are major determinants of pathogenesis. However, previous studies linking these factors to disease risk have often included patients using aspirin...
