Key Points

To investigate the pathogenesis of Helicobacter pylori strains in Cameroon through seroprevalence of specific proteins.
Utilized a multiplex immunoassay to test proteins involved in pathogenesis.
Analyzed samples from IgM-positive dyspeptic patients for protein presence.
H. pylori strains demonstrated strong colonization ability in gastric mucosa.
A low presence of proteins associated with carcinogenic potential was identified.

Abstract

Our results showed that H. pylori strains in our milieu have a strong ability to colonize the gastric mucosa, but a low carcinogenic potential due to the scarcity of the proteins modulating the detrimental effect of CagA/VacA proteins.
