Popis: Since the discovery of a causative role of Helicobacter pylori infection in human gastroduodenal disease, the Helicobacter-induced animal models of gastritis have stimulated much interest in this area of applied research. As H. pylori-induced gastritis evolves slowly over the lifetime of an individual it presents a challenge to mimic these changes in the animal model, particularly the diverse clinical manifestations of inflammation and its slow progression. Data from the clinical studies and observations have suggested that not only host and bacterial attributes are important, but also environmental factors can influence pattern and progression of gastritis.
