Abstract
Helicobacter pylori exists in two distinct forms, rod shaped or coccoid, in stomachs of infected patients. Based on in vitro proteome comparisons, there are no detectable coccoid-specific proteins, which argues against the specific adaptation of coccoid Helicobacter to distinct biological functions, such as enhanced persistence or transmission to other hosts.Entities:
