2. Neutrophil recruitment in H. pylori induced inflammation: characterization of regulatory factors
Sammanfattning : Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium colonizing the human gastric mucosa, is strongly associatedwith the development of gastric and duodenal ulcers, as well as gastric, adenocarcinoma.Virtually all infected individuals develop active chronic gastritis characterized by a continousinfiltration of neutrophils as well as mononuclear cells.

3. Helicobacter pylori bacterial diversity and human disease : microbiological and epidemiological studies with special reference to gastric cancer
Sammanfattning : The aims of this thesis were to explore if the coccoid form of H. pylori is a degenerative, dead form of the bacteria. We also wanted to study if multiple strain infections of H. pylori existed in Swedish subjects, if the strain variations were connected to certain disease groups, and if specific protein markers could be found in H.

4. Helicobacter pylori cell surface interactions with glycosaminoglycans. Identification and characterisation of proteins binding to heparin/heparan sulphate
Sammanfattning : Helicobacter pylori is a gastric pathogen which cause chronic type B gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. H. pylori produces virulence factors such as urease, vacuolating cytotoxin VacA, cag pathogenicity island-associated proteins, flagella and adhesins. LÄS MER
5. Gastric and enteric Helicobacter species in animal models and in the human colon
Sammanfattning : The Gram-negative genus of Helicobacter consists of many bacterial species that colonize a wide range of animal hosts. The genus can be divided into gastric species that colonize the stomach, and enteric species that preferentially colonize the colon and biliary tree of various animal hosts. LÄS MER
