More Information about the Test and the H Pylori
The H Pylori test is used to detect the Helicobacter Pylori bacteria. This bacteria is a gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium that can cause gastritis or stomach ulcers. It can be tested with serum, whole blood and feces and is available in the form of a cassette and a strip. Both the cassette and strip test kits are very reliable, being very easy to use, sensitive and specific, with results in under 10 minutes on average. The differences between these two test kits are minimal, with the cassette test kit simply being a more robust and user friendly model of the strip test kit, however, they both equally have a high level of accuracy.
