Abstract
The diversity in the expression of Lewis antigens (Le) of 226 single colonies of Helicobacter pylori isolated from four regions of the stomach of eight adults is shown. Le y was expressed more in strains colonizing antrum than in strains colonizing fundus, whereas Le x was more common in fundus strains. cagA + strains were more associated with Le-negative strains.Keywords
