Abstract
The work presented in this thesis investigated virulence in Helicobacter pylori isolates of the Western Cape and related this virulent fingerprint to alterations in gastric cell physiology and cell cycle events. Initially, the "virulence profile" of 109 isolates from 86 patients with a spectrum of clinically significant gastroduodenal diseases was investigated.
