Oxidative stress resistance is one of the key properties that enable pathogenic bacteria to survive the toxic reactive oxygen species released by the host. In a previous study characterizing oxidative stress resistance mutants of Helicobacter pylori, a novel potential antioxidant protein (MdaB) was identified by the observation that the expression of this protein was significantly upregulated to compensate for...
