The Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a major component of the outer
membrane that plays a key role in host–pathogen interactions with the innate immune …

Helicobacter pylori causes persistent inflammation in the human stomach, yet only a minority
of persons harbouring this organism develop peptic ulcer disease or gastric malignancy. An …

Helicobacter pylori has been shown to require flagella for infection of the stomach. To
analyze whether flagella themselves or motility is needed by these pathogens, we …

Two bacterial β1–4-galactosyltransferases, NmLgtB and Hp1–4GalT, exhibit promiscuous
and complementary acceptor substrate specificity. They have been used in an efficient one …

Helicobacter pylori is a prevalent bacterial, gastroduodenal pathogen of humans that can
express Lewis (Le) and related antigens in the O-chains of its surface lipopolysaccharide …

The lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of most Helicobacter pylori strains contain complex
carbohydrates known as Lewis antigens that are structurally related to the human blood …

This review covers the current knowledge and gaps in Helicobacter pylori
lipopolysaccharide (LPS) structure and biosynthesis. H. pylori is a Gram‐negative bacterium …

In mimicry with human gastric epithelial cells, the lipopolysaccharide of Helicobacter pylori
expresses Lewis blood group antigens. Recent data suggest that molecular mimicry does …

Helicobacter pylori causes gastritis and some infections result in peptic ulceration, gastric
adenocarcinoma or gastric lymphoma. A critical step in the pathogenesis of these diseases …

All bacteria display surface-exposed glycans that can play an important role in their
interaction with the host and in select cases mimic the glycans found on host cells, an event …
