Bacterial factors and immune pathogenesis in Helicobacter pylori infection
Abstract
Virulent Helicobacter pylori strains which have been clinically associated with severe outcome induce increased gastric mucosal immune responses. Although several bacterial pathogenic factors have been shown to have a considerable role in H pylori infection, variability in host immune responses may also contribute to mucosal damage in H pylori associated gastritis.
