The prevalence of H. pylori infection worldwide is approximately 66%, and in developing countries, it is as high as 80% \u2013 90%. The testing and treatment of <i>H. pylori<\/i> is very important as it has been estimated that up to 20% of people infected with <i>H. pylori<\/i> will develop ulcers which may lead to specific cancers. MP Diagnostics ASSURE <i>H. pylori<\/i> Rapid Test and Helico Blot 2.1 Western Blot incorporate a unique marker, CIM, which is used to detect the current infection of <i>H. pylori<\/i> bacteria. CIM stands for Current Infection Marker which is actually a <i>H. pylori<\/i>-specific protein. The nucleotide sequence of the CIM antigen is homologous to a conserved secreted protein. This protein has been found to be highly immunogenic for detection of <i>H. pylori<\/i> infected patients with high Positive Predictive Value of &gt;90%. It has been coined as Current Infection Marker because IgG antibodies for CIM have been found in patients with active <i>H. pylori<\/i> infection. These patients are confirmed to have active <i>H. pylori<\/i> infection by two or more active infection diagnostic tests such as rapid urease test, culture, histology, and Urea Breath Test. With CIM-based products, no additional tests are needed for detecting current <i>H. pylori<\/i> infection.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<strong>Supplier:<\/strong> MP Biomedicals- Diagnostics<br \/>\n<strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"avia-button avia-color-theme-color\" href=\"mailto:lea.baltzinger@mpbio.com\">Mail the supplier<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a cork-screw-spiral-like gram-negative bacterium that has adapted to grow in the human stomach.
