The leading cause of peptic ulcers, gastritis and gastric cancer,
Helicobacter pylori actually infects up to half of the humans on this
planet. In recognition of its grim reputation, the study of Helicobacter
pylori has therefore become dynamic, particularly of its genetics and
cellular biology. This review gathers together leading research to
provide researchers and students with a single source of information.
The 12 articles here, including an introductory overview, include such
topics as Helicobacter pylori lipopolysaccharides and Lewis antigens,
outer membrane proteins, vacuolating toxin, Type IV secretion systems,
gastric biology, metal metabolism and transport, replication,
partitioning, segregation, cell division, molecular mechanisms, and
genotyping. Other articles describe flagella, motility and chemotaxis
and an application of proteomics technology to associated gastroduodenal
disease. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
