Table 2 Comparison of mean cycle threshold (Ct) values between DNA extraction procedures for the detection of H. pylori on SAT negative. The Ct values were detected on two samples, while the remaining were undetermined. Data are analysed on two positive samples for ureC and the only one for cagA
H. pylori | Ct B vs A | P value | Ct B vs C | P value | Ct A vs C | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ureC | 38.92 vs 35.86 | ns | 38.92 vs 34.84 | ns | 35.86 vs 34.84 | ns |
cagA | 39.24 vs 45.66 | na | 39.24 vs 38.18 | na | 45.66 vs 38.18 | na |
