Seeking Bulgarian Partner: Comparative Molecular Epidemiology of Helicobacter pylori in Türkiye and Bulgaria: Clonal Relationships, Virulence Profiles, Antimicrobial Resistance, and Predictive Modeling
We are seeking a Bulgarian research partner to jointly apply for the TÜBİTAK 2502 bilateral cooperation call with the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS). The proposed project aims to perform a comparative molecular epidemiological analysis of Helicobacter pylori isolates from Türkiye and Bulgaria. The study will investigate clonal relationships, virulence gene profiles, and antimicrobial resistance patterns, and develop predictive models linking bacterial genotypes with clinical outcomes. The p
