New data on the effect of helicobacter pylori on oxygen metabolism in human neutrophils.
A new phenomenon is discovered: Helicobacter pylori suppressed production of superoxide radical by neutrophils, while intracellular production of oxygen radicals is considerably activated. This phenomenon seems to play an important role in Helicobacter modulation of the inflammatory process in the stomach and persistence of the bacterium in the inflammatory focus.
