ComB proteins expression levels determine Helicobacter pylori competence capacity
Helicobacter pylori chronically colonises half of the world's human population and is the main cause of ulcers and gastric cancers. Its prevalence and the increase in antibiotic resistance observed recently reflect the high genetic adaptability of this pathogen. Together with high mutation rates and an efficient DNA recombination system, horizontal gene transfer through natural competence makes...
متن کاملNatural competence promotes Helicobacter pylori chronic infection.
Animal models are important tools for studies of human disease, but developing these models is a particular challenge with regard to organisms with restricted host ranges, such as the human stomach pathogen Helicobacter pylori. In most cases, H. pylori infects the stomach for many decades before symptoms appear, distinguishing it from many bacterial pathogens that cause acute infection. To mode...
متن کاملHelicobacter pylori comb. nov. Exhibits Facultative Acidophilism and Obligate Microaerophilism.
Modified brucella broth medium was used to study the growth of Helicobacter pylori at varied pHs and partial pressures of oxygen and to determine the effect of urea on culture pH. Our findings suggested that the pHs of the media remained stable with or without urea and that H. pylori showed facultative acidophilism and obligate microaerophilism.
متن کاملHelicobacter pylori induces CCL20 expression.
CCL20 attracts immature dendritic cells and memory T cells and plays a role on mucosal surfaces in inflammation. However, whether Helicobacter pylori infection induces CCL20 in human gastric epithelial cells remains to be determined. The aim of this study was to analyze the molecular mechanism of H. pylori-induced CCL20 expression. Expression of CCL20 mRNA was assessed by reverse transcription-...
متن کاملFunctional and topological characterization of novel components of the comB DNA transformation competence system in Helicobacter pylori.
Helicobacter pylori is one of the most diverse bacterial species known. A rational basis for this genetic variation may be provided by its natural competence for genetic transformation and high-frequency recombination. Many bacterial competence systems have homology with proteins that are involved in the assembly of type IV pili and type II secretion systems. In H. pylori, DNA uptake relies on ...
