The gastrointestinal tract represents an important barrier between human hosts and microbial populations. One potential consequence of host-microbial interactions is the development of mucosal inflammation. A paradigm for such chronic host-microbial relationships is carriage of Helicobacter pylori, Gram-negative bacteria that colonize the stomachs of humans and primates. H. pylori colonization induces chronic gastritis in essentially all hosts, a process that increases the risk of developing peptic ulceration, distal gastric ...
