Characterization of adhesion, anti-adhesion, co-aggregation, and hydrophobicity of Helicobacter pylori and probiotic strains

This study provides information relating to the adhesion abilities of clinical H. pylori and probiotic strains to the oral mucosa when compared to the intestinal mucosa. Certain probiotic strains may be useful for the successful eradication of H. pylori infection via anti-adhesion and co-aggregation.
