| Popis: | The pathogenic bacterium Helicobacter pylori, which has infected more than one-half of the world's human population, exists in two morphological forms; the viable helical form and the disputed viable-but-not-culturable coccoid form. Infection by the helical form proceeds through the oral-oral route, while that by the coccoid form, if possible at all, is by the faecal-oral and/or the oral-oral route. The present pilot study addresses the question of disinfectant efficacy against both forms of the bacterium. |
