Abstract:
Two sets of PCR primers, named TH1 and TH2, were designed to detect Helicobacter pylori. While TH2 primer can detect the bacteria in 97% of cases, TH1 primer can detect only the bacteria in 42% of cases. The specificity of both primers was 100%. Therefore, TH2 primer was proved more sensitivity than TH1 primer and had promise in use to detect Helicobacter pylori
