Featured article: Outer membrane phospholipase A’s roles in Helicobacter pylori acid adaptation

Vollan et al. 2017

"Intact OMPLA is required for survival of H. pylori in acidic environments despite the fact that OMPLA is enzymatically inactive at low pH. Combining these findings with experimental work on five novel isogenic pairs of OMPLA variants, and in silico analyses of OMPLA sequence and structure data augmented with a literature study, we arrive at a hypothesis for a functional mechanism for this acid protection."

Handholding young scientists in a country fraught with infection burden, climate change and health consequences

In an effort to deliver health care innovations, the International Centre for Diarrheal Diseases Research Bangladesh (icddr,b) is charting a career plan for its young scientists. Niyaz Ahmed, Senior Director of Laboratory Sciences and Services Division at the icddr,b and Editor-in-Chief of Gut Pathogens, tells us more.

Aims and scope

Gut Pathogens publishes research on both biological and clinical aspects of the pathogens, commensals and functional microbiota of the gut, including probiotic bacteria and yeasts and their products. The journal also considers timely reports on the novel aspects of genomics, metagenomics, microbiota profiling and systems biology, as well as studies identifying new genome sequences of gut microbes.
