Compositions and assays for treatment and diagnosis of helicobacter pylori infection and conditions

摘要

Methods of diagnosing Helicobacter pylori infection or associated conditions are based in part on the correlation of the presence of a α-L-fucosidase 2 marker with the infection. Methods and compositions for treating or preventing Helicobacter pylori infection or associated conditions are based in part on administering an α-L-fucosidase 2 inhibitor to an infected subject or a subject at risk of developing the infection.
