H. pylori Profile

Definitive Results from One Biopsy

Our comprehensive H. pylori DNA Biopsy Profile offers the latest Real-Time qPCR Molecular Technology. DNA based testing offers significant advantages to other methods. Including testing for Antibiotic Resistance Genes and Virulence Factors.

Patient treatment efficacy is greatly improved with phenotypic antibiotic resistance testing to guide treatment protocols. Additionally, Virulence Factor testing can help to identify the symptoms that H. pylori is contributing to and potential to cause disease.

H. pylori DNA Biopsy Profile

Methodology:

  • Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR), is a molecular DNA laboratory technique. PCR amplifies the gene targets and can generate thousands to millions of copies of a single target DNA sequence. This increases the sensitivity and specificity of the test greatly.
