Molecular Evaluation of the mRNA Expression of the , , , and Genes Linked to Fluconazole Resistance in in a Colombian Population.

Introduction: The study of genes associated with fluconazole resistance, from a molecular perspective, increases the understanding of the phenomenon with a view to its clinical applicability.

Objective: We sought to establish the predictive molecular profile of fluconazole resistance in by analyzing the , , , and genes.

Method: Expression was quantified using RT-qPCR.

[Clinical, pathological and microbiological association of Helicobacter pylori in gastric biopsies in the department of Caldas-Colombia].

Objective: To establish the clinical, pathological and microbiological association of Helicobacter pylori in gastric biopsies in a population of the department of Caldas (Colombia).

Materials And Methods: We included 72 patients, who were referred for digestive endoscopy to the San Marcel clinic in the city of Manizales during the second half of 2015; two biopsies of the antrum and two of the body of the stomach were taken for histopathological study and microbiological culture. Data were submitted to descriptive and relational statistical procedures.
