Article Synopsis
- Researchers isolated Helicobacter pylori from wastewater using methods like immunomagnetic separation, cell culture, and PCR verification of 16S rRNA sequences.
- Eleven genotyped H. pylori isolates were categorized into four vacA classes, with the majority being of the vacA s1a/m1 type, linked to severe diseases like gastric cancer.
- The findings highlight that H. pylori can survive in water systems, suggesting untreated water could be a source of H. pylori transmission.
