چکیده
Modified brucella broth medium was used to study the growth of Helicobacter pylori at varied pHs and partial pressures of oxygen and to determine the effect of urea on culture pH. Our findings suggested that the pHs of the media remained stable with or without urea and that H. pylori showed facultative acidophilism and obligate microaerophilism.

Functional and topological characterization of novel components of the comB DNA transformation competence system in Helicobacter pylori.
Helicobacter pylori is one of the most diverse bacterial species known. A rational basis for this genetic variation may be provided by its natural competence for genetic transformation and high-frequency recombination. Many bacterial competence systems have homology with proteins that are involved in the assembly of type IV pili and type II secretion systems. In H. pylori, DNA uptake relies on ...
متن کاملAcid resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Responses to acid have been studied extensively in enteric pathogens, such as Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholerae, and Helicobacter pylori that encounter the extremely low pH (pH 2 to 3) of the stomach during ingestion. In contrast, much less is known about how obligate or facultative intracellular bacterial pathogens like Mycobacterium tuberculosis respond, resist, and persist in the moderately ...
متن کاملEfficacy of Clostridium butyricum preparation concomitantly with Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy in relation to changes in the intestinal microbiota.
Antibiotic associated diarrhea due to human intestinal microbiota abnormalities is a side effect of H. pylori eradication therapy. We examined intestinal microbiota changes during H. pylori eradication therapy and the preventive effect of CBM588 as a probiotic agent. Nineteen patients with gastro-duodenal ulcer were randomly divided into three groups: group A (without probiotics), group B (with...
