Bacterial Culture and Inoculation of Mice (Simple Infection)

  • Protocol
  • First Online:
Helicobacter Species

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 921))

Abstract

Standardization of bacterial culture is crucial for in vivo experiments addressing Helicobacter/host ­interaction. Here we present methods for bacteria culture and infection of mice.
