Development and application of a novel peptide nucleic acid probe for the specific detection of helicobacter pylori in gastric biopsy specimens

In this work, a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) method for the rapid detection of Helicobacter pylori using a novel peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe is reported. Laboratory testing with several different bacterial species, including other Helicobacter spp., has shown that this probe is hig...
