Roles of Cholesteryl-α-Glucoside Transferase and Cholesteryl Glucosides in Maintenance of Helicobacter pylori Morphology, Cell Wall Integrity, and Resistance to Antibiotics

Helicobacter pylori is an important cause of chronic gastritis leading to peptic ulcer and is a major risk factor for gastric malignancies. Failure in the eradication of H. pylori infection and increasing antibiotic resistance are two major problems in preventing H. pylori colonization. Hence, a dee...
