Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial community in the crop of the hoatzin, a neotropical folivorous flying bird

TL;DR: The hoatzin is unique among known avian species because of the fermentative function of its enlarged crop, and this bird provides an interesting model to examine how diet selection and the gut microbiota contribute to maximizing digestive efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of CagA in the Gastric Biology of Helicobacter pylori.

TL;DR: H. pylori was discovered in 1983 by the Australian scientists Warren and Marshall as a gastric pathogen, causing peptic ulcer disease, and was found to be a major cause of cancer in women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Humoral and cellular immune recognition of Helicobacter pylori proteins are not concordant.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that, in contrast to antibody responses, T cell recognition of H. pylori proteins may occur in non‐infected persons, and suggest that in these subjects, peripheral lymphocytes that are activated by bacterial heat shock proteins do not mediate tissue damage by recognition of human heat shock homologues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Linking Helicobacter pylori to gastric cancer

TL;DR: Although Helicobacter pylori affects a large percentage of the population, only a small percentage of carriers develop peptic ulcers and gastric cancer.
