Dynamics of Helicobacter pylori colonization in relation to the host response.

Abstract excerpt

The dynamics of Helicobacter pylori colonization from its acquisition through the development of steady-state are examined through a mathematical model that includes the host response. The model encompasses both host and microbiological variation. The individual capacity of the host response is shown to be a key model parameter, leading to either transient or persistent colonization, whereas the growth rate of...
