Microbiology: Preparing the shot
Christof R. Hauck1
Abstract
Direct injection of proteins into host cells is one of the tricks bacteria use during infection. It seems that, to achieve this, the stomach pathogen Helicobacter pylori first grabs the cell by its surface receptors.
The bacterium Helicobacter pylori successfully colonizes the stomach of about every third person. Infection with this ubiquitous microorganism can cause acute and chronic gastritis, as well as stomach ulcers1.
