Distribution of cagE, T, LEC1, and LEC2 in H pylori isolates
| Clinical status (n) | cagE (%) | cagT (%) | LEC1 (%) | LEC2 (%) |
| DU (58) | 47 (81) | 56 (96.5) | 44 (75.8) | 33 (56.8) |
| GU (46) | 46 (100) | 46 (100) | 46 (100) | 46 (100) |
| NUD (56) | 36 (64.2) | 36 (64.2) | 38 (67.8) | 18 (32.1) |
| GC (14) | 14 (100) | 14 (100) | 14 (100) | 14 (100) |
| Total (174) | 143 (82.1) | 152 (87.3) | 142 (81.6) | 111 (63.7) |
For cagE, GU vs NUD is highly significant at 0.1% level (P<0.001), DU vs GU, NUD vs GC combinations are significant at 1% level (P<0.01), DU vs NUD combination is significant at 5% level (P<0.05) and DU vs GC . For cagT, DU vs NUD, GU vs NUD combinations are highly significant at 0.1% level (P<0.001), NUD vs GC combination is significant at 1% level (P<0.01) and DU vs GU, DU vs GC, GU vs GC are not significant at 1% level. For LEC1, DU vs GU, GU vs NUD combinations are highly significant at 0.1% level (P<0.001), NUD vs GC is significant at 1% level (P<0.01), DU vs GC is significant at 5% level (P<0.05). For LEC2, DU vs GU, GU vs NUD, NUD vs GC combinations are highly significant at 0.1% level (P<0.001), DU vs NUD, DU vs GC combinations are significant at 1% level (P<0.01) and GU vs GC is not significant at 1% level.
