The cagA gene is highly prevalent among H. pylori isolates from gastric lesions in Brazilian patients. The presence of the cagA gene was not considered a marker of the severity of esogastroduodenal lesions in the present study. This is the first study to investigate the phylogenetic population structure of H. pylori strains in a Brazilian capital, which may improve our understanding of the clinical outcome of H. pylori infection.
