Adherence by Helicobacter pylori increases the risk of gastric disease. Here, we report that more than 95% of strains that bind fucosylated blood group antigen bind A, B, and O antigens...
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a human-specific gastric pathogen which is responsible for a spectrum of diseases ranging from superficial gastritis to gastric and duodenal ulceration, and which...

Helicobacter pylori SabA adhesin in persistent infection and chronic inflammation (2002)
Mahdavi, Jafar, Sondén, Berit, Hurtig, Marina, Olfat, Farzad O., Forsberg, Lina, Roche, Niamh, ...
Helicobacter pylori adherence in the human gastric mucosa involves specific bacterial adhesins and cognate host receptors. Here, we identify sialyl-dimeric-Lewis x glycosphingolipid as a receptor for...

In vitro and in vivo studies from various groups have suggested that Helicobacter pylori lipopolysaccharide (LPS) Lewis x (Lex) antigens mediate bacterial adhesion. We have now reevaluated this...
