Unraveling the Intertwined Effect of pH on <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Motility and the Microrheology of the Mucin-Based Medium It Swims in

The gastric pathogen, <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> bacteria have to swim across a pH gradient from 2 to 7 in the mucus layer to colonize the gastric epithelium. Previous studies from our group have shown that porcine gastric mucin (PGM) gels at an acidic pH < 4, and <i>H. pylori&l...
