A METHOD BASED ON A BREATH TEST FOR THE DETECTION OF PATHOGEN MICROORGANISMS

摘要

The present invention provides a method based on urea breath tests for the detection and diagnostic of Helicobacter pylori in the gastroduodenal track, and a kit to carry out said method. The method comprises collecting a first basal breath sample from an individual or patient; giving to said individual a labeled carbon urea solution; in an immediate following novel and independent step, giving an adequate amount of water to the individual to clean his oral cavity from any residual urea; and after a time of not less than 5 minutes, collecting a second breath sample.
