Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori biofilm formation is crucial for its persistence and transmission, constituting a notable public health concern. Understanding the regulatory mechanisms driving biofilm initiation is vital for developing effective control strategies. This study reveals a previously uncharacterized regulatory mechanism where reactive oxygen species (ROS) promote H. pylori biofilm formation by modulating the key...
