Outer membrane proteins (OMPs) play a key role in facilitating the survival of Helicobacter pylori within the gastric tissue by mediating adherence. Among these proteins, Outer inflammatory protein A (OipA) is a critical factor in H. pylori colonization of the host gastric epithelial cell surface.

Alterations in the CT number repeats cause frame-shift mutations to result in phase variation of oipA expression.

Methods: Three different study groups [(SG); n=16 mice each] and a control group (n=8 mice) were established with female Balb/C mice weighing 25-30 g. Reference (MHOM/IN/1980/DD8), reference (MHOM/TN/1980/IP1) and a hybrid (MHOM/TR/2014/CBVL-LI/ LD), stored in liquid nitrogen, were thawed, cultured and incubated at 25 °C.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between seven important . virulence factors and antibiotic resistance in patients with gastritis. .
