摘要：

There is considerable geographical variation in the distribution of allelic types of Helicobacter pylori. This first study from Kuwait determined the prevalence of cagA and vacA genotypes among H 7 unselected patients attending a gastroenterology center. We found that whereas vacA s1 and s2 types were equally likely to be present in biopsies obtained from patients of Middle-Eastern origin, African Arabs were predominantly infected with s2 type and South-Asians the s1 type. South Asians most frequently carried the cagA positive genotype with Bangladeshis showing the highest prevalence rate of 87%. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
