Helicobacter mustelae infects the ferret stomach and provides an opportunity to study pathogenic determinants of a Helicobacter species in its natural host. We constructed an isogenic urease-negative mutant of H. mustelae which produced no detectable urease and showed a reduced acid tolerance. This mutant provides an opportunity to further evaluate the role of urease in the pathogenesis of Helicobacter infection.
幽门螺杆菌(Helicobacter mustelae)感染雪貂胃部,为研究幽门螺杆菌在其自然宿主中的致病决定因素提供了契机。我们构建了一种幽门螺杆菌的同基因脲酶阴性突变体,该突变体不产生可检测到的脲酶,且耐酸性降低。此突变体为进一步评估脲酶在幽门螺杆菌感染发病机制中的作用提供了机会。
