''H.pylori'' is a class I human pathogen that is involved in causing gastric ulcers and stomach cancers. Its two nickel dependent enzymes - Urease and NiFe-H2ase, provides it a unique ability to survive and colonize in acidic human stomach. Urease catalyzes the conversion of urea to ammonia and carbamate which neutralizes its local acidic environment. |
