Previous tests for H. pylori infection status of mice have required sacrificing the small host for histological evaluation. We thus aim to determine whether a noninvasive HpSA (H. pylori-specific stool antigen assay) could be applied to detect H. pylori infection in living mice. A total of 60 BALB/c...
