Abstract(s)

Background : Adhesion to mucins within the mucus layer and to membrane bound mucins present on the surface epithelial cells is a key step in the interac􀦞on of H. pylori and its host. Aim : To inves􀦞gate the level and mechanisms of binding of non- ulcer dyspepsia (NUD) strains versus pep􀦞c ulcer disease (PUD) strains to human gastric mucins.
