Nonhelical Helicobacter pylori Mutants Show Altered Gland Colonization and Elicit Less Gastric Pathology than Helical Bacteria during Chronic Infection
1 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
mutants showed variable colonization of the antrum at this time point. During chronic infection (1 or 3 months postinfection), total CFU were highly variable but similar for wild-type and straight rods. Both wild-type and straight rods persisted and expanded in corpus glands during chronic infection. However, the straight rods showed reduced inflammation and disease progression. Thus, helical cell shape...
