Figure 4From: Helicobacter pylori with stronger intensity of CagA phosphorylation lead to an increased risk of gastric intestinal metaplasia and cancerThe H. pylori density, inflammation and atrophy by gastric histology among the 146 patients infected with H. pylori isolates with different p-CagA intensity. The isolates with stronger p-CagA intensity were significantly associated with more severe acute inflammation (p = 0.01) and chronic inflammation (p = 0.005) but not with H. pylori density or gastric atrophy (p = NS) (Pearson chi-square test).Back to article page
