Molecular pathogenesis of H. pylori disease.
H. pylori infection is a ubiquitous infection in man; it is associated with the development of various gastroduodenal disease manifestations. Numerous investigations are now seeking to elucidate the factors important in the microorganism that directly, or in concert with host and/or environmental factors, affect disease outcome. These studies involve the physiology and genetics of both the host and its pathogen, H. pylori.
