Protein Antigens of Campylobacter pylori: The Problem of Species Specificity

  • Conference paper
Campylobacter pylori

Abstract

Since Campylobacter pylori (C. pylori) was first isolated and identified from gastric biopsies by Marshall [6], data have accumulated which indicate a strong association of C. pylori with gastritis and peptic ulcer disease [14]. Despite this fact the natural course of infection, the pathomechanisms, and the occurrence in the total population remain largely unclear.
