A role for the bacterial outer membrane in the pathogenesis of<i>Helicobacter pylori</i>infection

Abstract excerpt

Helicobacter pylori infection in humans is associated with diverse of clinical outcomes which are partly attributed to bacterial strain differences. Secreted bacterial products are thought to be involved in the pathogenesis caused by this non-invasive bacterium. Electron microscopy of gastric biopsies from infected individuals revealed blebbing of the H. pylori outer membrane, similar to the process of outer...
