The University of Basrah discusses a thesis or dissertation defense (Investigation of some virulence factors of H. pylori)

A master's thesis  was discussed in the College of Science at the University of Basrah entitled (Isolation, Identification and Screening of Some Virulence Factors of Helicobacter pylori ) by the graduate student( Zainab Naser Mohammad) and the number of its chapters three. The study aims to identify the H. pylori that infects humans, its causes and treatment, which is one of the common diseases that target humans.
