Aim:
Rapid detection of H.pylori strains by PCR-Sequencing.
Methods:
16S rDNA amplification by PCR from template genomic DNA, confirmation of amplicon size by agarose gel electrophoresis, sequencing of amplicons by automated sequencer, analysis of sequences by NCBI -BLAST software.
Results:
The PCR -Sequencing and analysis of the sequence data by BLAST resulted in detection of the strain to be of H.pylori strain#26695.
Conclusion:
The pathogenicity of H.pylori depends on the strain of the bacteria, PCR-Sequencing and analysis of the sequence data by BLAST can be a very quick and useful diagnostic method of the pathogen.
