After Helicobacter pylori enters the stomach, three steps are vital for infection:(i) establishing
colonization;(ii) evading host immunity; and (iii) invading gastric mucosa; the last step is …

Helicobacter pylori colonizes the human gastric epithelium and induces chronic gastritis,
which can lead to gastric cancer. Through cell-cell contacts the gastric epithelium forms a …
