Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) causes several gastrointestinal diseases. Its virulence factors contributing to disease development include biofilm formation, cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) and vacuolating cytotoxin A (VacA) proteins that induce host tissue damage. In addition, urease activity enables H. pylori growth in the gastric acidic environment. This work aimed to characterize bacterial...
