Abstract:
Helicobacter pylori is able to colonize the human stomach and dwell in the human stomach for decades or for whole lifetime. A number of potential virulence factors contribute to Helicobacter pylori to colonize this unusual niche. Motility is an essential colonization factor based on the fact that nonmotile variants of Helicobacter pylori can't infect gnotobiotic piglets. Motility is not a colonization factor based on rapid loss of motility of Helicobacter pylori in the gastric lumen in vivo. The exact roles of Helicobacter pylori motility are not yet known. The aim of this article is to discuss correlation between colonization and motility of Helicobacter pylori.
