Rejection Criteria:
Mislabeled or unlabeled sample, sample subject to acid decalcification which severelry damages nucleic acids, specimens not fixed in neutral-buffered formalin
Reference Range:
Not Detected
Test Comments:
Methodology:
Polymerase Chain Reaction, Next-Generation Sequencing
Clinical Significance:
This assay is designed to qualitatively detect targeted clinically-relevant nucleotide variants in 16S, 23S and gyrA genes of Helicobacter pylori. Extracted nucleic acid is amplified by PCR, followed by next-generation sequencing and alignment and variant calling using genome NC_000915.1. A negative result does not rule out the presence of bacteria template below the limit of detection of this assay.
