“…The mosaic combination of s and m region allelic types correlates with the production of the cytotoxin and is thereby associated with the virulence of the strain; the fact that the majority of the strains found in Cuban and Venezuelan patients are s1/m1, the most virulent type, is of importance to the regional health systems of both countries. These results are in accordance with several other studies (De Gusmão et al 2000, Figueiredo et al 2001, Chen et al 2005, Martins et al 2005, Garcia et al 2006.…”

“…Faundez et al (2002) found that cagA + /s1m1 strains were the most common in Chilean patients and Morales- Espinosa et al (1999) also found that cagA + /s1m1 strains had a higher prevalence in Mexican patients. Additionally, Martins et al (2005) found an association between the cagA + and vacAm1s1 genotypes in Northern Brazil and Cittelly et al (2002) found that the cagA + /s1m1 phenotype was the most frequent in Colombian patients. Given the fact that the genotype cagA+/s1m1 is highly associated with a more severe gastroduodenal disease, these data are of great importance for the regional health systems of Cuba and Venezuela.…”

“…However, the combination s2/m2 of the vacA gene was frequently observed in samples from patients with enanthematous gastritis. In general, vacAs1/m1strains have been linked with higher degrees of inflammation and cell infiltration when compared to vacAs2/ m2strains 29,30 . Furthermore, vacAs1/m1 strains produce large amounts of vacuolating toxin and induce a higher vacuolating activity in gastric epithelial cells than vacAs2/m2 strains 12,31 .…”

“…Estudos realizados na década de 90 sugerem que o genótipo s1m1 possa ser usado como marcador de amostras mais virulentas, em conformidade com o fato de que o alelo s1 está relacionado à produção de maior quantidade da citotoxina vacuolizante e que o alelo m1 está associado com produção de maior quantidade da toxina (4) . Neste estudo, foi observada associação entre genótipo s1m1 dos isolados e presença de úlcera duodenal, confirmando resultados descritos para amostras brasileiras e também de outras regiões mundiais (2,4,16,17,26,27,36,46,48,55,59) .…”

“…No presente estudo, amostras cagA positivas foram identificadas em 68% dos isolados, freqüência similar à observada em diversos países ocidentais e em várias regiões do Brasil, com exceção de Marília, cidade do interior do Estado de são Paulo, onde a taxa de amostras cagA positivas foi de apenas 48% (3,16,21,26,36,46) . O genótipo cagA+ vacA s1m1 foi mais freqüentemente observado em pacientes com úlcera duodenal de acordo com o reportado por outros autores brasileiros (3,16,21,26,36,46) . Essa relação entre os genótipos ainda é pouco conhecida.…”
