Abstract excerpt
An oxidative stress-induced enzyme, peptidoglycan deacetylase (PgdA), in the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori was previously identified and characterized. In this study, we constructed H. pylori pgdA mutants in two mouse-adapted strains, X47 and B128, to investigate the role of PgdA in vivo (to determine the mutants' abilities to colonize mice and to induce an immune response). H. pylori pgdA mutant...
