Acid‐regulated gene expression of Helicobacter pylori: Insight into acid protection and gastric colonization
25 Apr 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background The pathogen Helicobacter pylori encounters many stressors as it transits to and infects the gastric epithelium. Gastric acidity is the predominate stressor encountered by the bacterium during initial infection and establishment of persistent infection. H. pylori initiates a rapid response to acid to maintain intracellular pH and proton motive force appropriate for a neutralophile. However,...
