Clinical Information
H. pylori DNA Stool Profile, including testing for Antibiotic Resistance Genes and Virulence Factors.
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.
