The vacuolating cytotoxin, VacA, is an important virulence factor secreted by the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori. Certain vacA genotypes are strongly associated with disease risk, but the association is not absolute. The factors determining vac...

Background Epidemiological and clinical studies in high income countries have suggested that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) may cause anaemia, but evidence is lacking from low income countries.We examined associations between H. pylori infection...

Helicobacter pylori infection reduces disease severity in an experimental model of multiple sclerosis (2015)
Journal Article
Cook, K. W., Crooks, J., Hussain, K., O'Brien, K., Braitch, M., Kareem, H., …Gran, B. (2015). Helicobacter pylori infection reduces disease severity in an experimental model of multiple sclerosis. Frontiers in Microbiology, 6, Article 52. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2015.00052

Recent research has demonstrated that infection with the bacterial pathogen Helicobacter pylori is less common amongst patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). We aimed to compa... Read More about Helicobacter pylori infection reduces disease severity in an experimental model of multiple sclerosis.
