Helicobacter pylori-infected human neutrophils exhibit impaired chemotaxis and a uropod retraction defect

Abstract excerpt

Helicobacter pylori is a major human pathogen that colonizes the gastric mucosa and plays a causative role in development of peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. Neutrophils are heavily infected with this organism in vivo and play a prominent role in tissue destruction and disease. Recently, we demonstrated that H. pylori exploits neutrophil plasticity as part of its virulence strategy eliciting N1-like subtype...
