Helicobacter pylori FliD protein is a highly sensitive and specific marker for serologic diagnosis of H. pylori infection.

TLDR
This work identified the H. pylori "hook-associated protein 2 homologue", FliD (UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: P96786) as a novel marker of infection for serological analysis and screened a defined panel of patient sera to evaluate its antigenicity, finding it to have a high specificity of up to 99% and a sensitivity up to 97%.

Helicobacter pylori infection: An overview of bacterial virulence factors and pathogenesis

TL;DR: A review highlights the key findings of H. pylori virulence factors reported over the past 20 years and the development of large-scale screening methods, including proteomic, and transcriptomic tools, has been used to determine the complex gene regulatory networks in the bacterium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection: Current options and developments

TL;DR: The aim of this article is to review the current options and novel developments of diagnostic tests and their applications in different clinical conditions or for specific purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-invasive diagnostic tests for Helicobacter pylori infection

TL;DR: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of urea breath test, serology, and stool antigen test, used alone or in combination, for diagnosis of H pylori infection in symptomatic and asymptomatic people, a meta-analysis was performed by using the hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic (HSROC) model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pathogenesis and clinical management of Helicobacter pylori gastric infection.

TL;DR: The infection can be acquired by means of oral-oral or fecal-oral transmission, and the pathogen possesses various mechanisms that improve its capacity of mobility, adherence and manipulation of the gastric microenvironment, making possible the colonization of an organ with a highly acidic lumen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Helicobacter pylori infection- recent developments in diagnosis

TL;DR: This review concerns the contribution of novel endoscopic evaluation methodologies for the diagnosis of H. pylori infection, such as magnifying endoscopy techniques and chromoendoscopy, and the diagnostic contribution of histology and the urea breath test.

Helicobacter pylori infection and the development of gastric cancer

TL;DR: Gastric cancer develops in persons infected with H. pylori but not in uninfected persons, and those with histologic findings of severe gastric atrophy, corpus-predominant gastritis, or intestinal metaplasia are at increased risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mosaicism in Vacuolating Cytotoxin Alleles of Helicobacter pylori ASSOCIATION OF SPECIFIC vacA TYPES WITH CYTOTOXIN PRODUCTION AND PEPTIC ULCERATION

TL;DR: Specific vacA genotypes of H. pylori strains are associated with the level of in vitro cytotoxin activity as well as clinical consequences, which implies that recombination has occurred in vivo between vacA alleles.

Helicobacter pylori Infection Induces Gastric Cancer in Mongolian Gerbils

TL;DR: It is successfully demonstrated that long-term infection with H. pylori induces adenocarcinoma in Mongolian gerbils, and the observations are highly suggestive of the involvement of H.pylori infection in gastric carcinogenesis in humans.

Purification and characterization of the vacuolating toxin from Helicobacter pylori.

TL;DR: A vacuolating toxin was purified to homogeneity from broth culture supernatant of the human gastric bacterium, Helicobacter pylori, and recognition of the purified M(r) = 87,000 protein by human sera was significantly associated with toxin-neutralizing activity.

Activation of β-catenin by carcinogenic Helicobacter pylori

TL;DR: In vivo adaptation endowed an H. pylori strain with the ability to rapidly and reproducibly induce gastric dysplasia and adenocarcinoma in a rodent model of gastritis, indicating that H.pylori-induced dysregulation of β-catenin-dependent pathways may explain in part the augmentation in the risk of gastric cancer conferred by this pathogen.
