Abstract
The vacA s and m genotypes and the presence of cag4 and IS605 were determin ed in Helicobacter pylori strains from patients with mono- and multiple inf ections. Surprisingly, these genetic markers were not associated with nonul cer dyspepsia or mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. The presence o f cagA correlated with the presence of the, vacA sl allele (P < 0.05), wher eas the presence of IS605 was associated with the presence of the s2 allele (P < 0.05).
