title: Gas-permeable lifecell tissue culture flasks give improved growth of Helicobacter pylori in a liquid medium.
abstract: Experiments were conducted to investigate the microaerobic culture of Helicobacter pylori in a liquid medium by using gas-permeable Lifecell tissue culture flasks. Growth in Lifecell tissue culture flasks was 1.2 to 1.6 log units greater than that in glass control bottles. These results were comparable to those reported by the use of gyrated media.
