TL;DR: In this Mexican population, the IL‐1B proinflammatory genotype increases the risk of distal GC, similar to previous reports in Caucasian populations and underscore the importance of cytokine gene polymorphisms in the development ofdistal GC.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that the carriage of the Arg/Arg genotype could be associated with the development of distal GC in this Mexican population.

TL;DR: The results show that the mutation analysis at codon 315 of katG could be used as a screening assay prior to standard susceptibility testing, whereas mutations in the rpoB gene could be use successfully as genetic markers to rapidly detect RIF-resistant M. tuberculosis clinical isolates from northeast Mexico.

TL;DR: Infection with H. pylori CagA+, VacA+ strains represents a significant risk for the development of GC and the absence of HLA-DQA1*0503 could be a host risk factor for theDevelopment of GC in Mexican patients.

TL;DR: Results show a linear relationship between the logarithm of CFU per milliliter and TAMA and show that it is possible to detect growth inhibition of M. tuberculosis in the presence of isoniazid or streptomycin by using HPLC in 3 and 4 days, respectively.
