Abstract excerpt
In the gastric microenvironment, Helicobacter pylori is exposed to bicarbonate, urea and acid. Here it is demonstrated that both H. pylori carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are required for maintaining urease activity and therefore influence H. pylori urea resistance at neutral pH. Furthermore, the beta-CA is required for acid resistance as indicated by a growth defect of the corresponding mutant at low pH. The alpha-...
