Title:The Distribution of jhp0940, jhp0945, jhp0947, jhp0949 and jhp0951 genes
of Helicobacter pylori in China
Version:2Date:10 July 2015
Reviewer: Gokben Ozbey
Reviewer's report:
The manuscript describes the distribution of jhp0940, jhp0945, jhp0947, jhp0949
and jhp0951 genes of Helicobacter pylori in China. The subject is interesting of a
rather important public health issue. I believe this study lays the foundation for
future studies and also contributes to the epidemiological survey of this important
pathogen worldwide. However, some issues have to be addressed before the
manuscript can be published:
1- How was DNA extracted from the isolates? Was it from colonies or from liquid
cultures? Please provide this information.
2- A representative photograph of the PCR agarose gel should be included as a
figure.
3- Authors did not mentioned the amount of primer for PCR.
4- Authors should be removed the abbreviations at the beginning of a paragraph
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a statistician.
