Abstract excerpt
Chronic inflammation induced by Helicobacter pylori is strongly associated with gastric cancer development, which is influenced by both bacterial virulence and host genetics. The sialic acid-binding adhesin SabA and the MUC5AC-binding adhesin LabA are important H. pylori virulence factors that facilitate adhesion of the bacterium, which is a crucial step in colonization. Lactate utilization has been reported to...
