              Abstract 
 Aim:
              The aim was to detect the glmM 
              gene of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in cow’s 
              milk from different dairy farms in Khartoum State using Nested 
              polymerase chain reaction (PCR). 
              Materials and Methods: A total of 50 milk samples were 
              collected from different dairy farms in Khartoum State (13 from 
              Khartoum, 24 Khartoum North, and 13 from Omdurman Provinces). 
              Results: The generated results showed that 11/50 (22%) were 
              harboring the investigated H. pylori glmM gene in 
              Khartoum State (1/13 [7.7%] Khartoum, 9/24 [37.5%] Khartoum North, 
              and 1/13 [7.7%] Omdurman provinces, respectively). 
              Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this was the first 
              report on the detection of H. pylori glmM gene in 
              cattle milk in Khartoum State. Nonetheless, the high percentages 
              of H. pylori DNA detection in milk opened new avenues 
              toward exploring the risk of human infection with H. pylori 
              through the consumption of raw milk. 
              Keywords: bovine, Helicobacter pylori,
