Physiology of Helicobacter pylori

  • Conference paper
Helicobacter pylori, Gastritis and Peptic Ulcer

Abstract

Our knowledge about the basic physiology of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is still very fragmentary and based on a number of studies investigating physiological properties such as enzyme profiles or growth conditions mainly for diagnostic or taxonomic purposes. However, more detailed information has started to accumulate about the composition and biology of the H. pylori cell envelope and its putative virulence factors.
