Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a pathogen that has coexisted with humans since ancient history, Helicobacter pylori has evolved and experienced many molecular changes, which enable its adaptation in hostile host stomach environments. The present Special Issue welcomes all relevant review or research articles that highlight the mechanism of host–pathogen interactions, including immune cell reactions to infection, innate receptor recognition, immune evasion strategies, virulence factors, bacterial pathogenesis, antibiotic resistance and therapeutic approaches in humans, etc. Articles on emerging non-pylori species are also welcome.
