Helicobacter pyloriChemotaxis Modulates Inflammation and Bacterium-Gastric Epithelium Interactions in Infected Mice
22 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
The ulcer-causing pathogen Helicobacter pylori uses directed motility, or chemotaxis, to both colonize the stomach and promote disease development. Previous work showed that mutants lacking the TlpB chemoreceptor, one of the receptors predicted to drive chemotaxis, led to less inflammation in the gerbil stomach than did the wild type. Here we expanded these findings and examined the effects on inflammation of...
