| pathogenesis of helicobacter pylori infection. | the clinical outcome of helicobacter pylori infection is determined by a complex interaction between the bacterium and the host. the main bacterial factors associated with pathogenicity comprise outer membrane proteins, including baba, saba, oipa, alpa, and alpb, the vacuolating cytotoxin vaca and the products of cagpai. the multitude of putative virulence factors makes it extremely difficult to test the contribution of each individual factor. much effort has been put into identifying the mechan ... | 2007 | 17727454 |
