2 Figure 1 Bacteria Can Sense Host Metabolites as Chemotaxis Ligands
Host cells produce a wide range of metabolites that can be sensed by colonizing bacteria. Helicobacter pylori uses a mechanism to hydrolyze urea to CO2 and NH3. This reaction both helps to buffer the bacterium from harsh stomach acid and also lowers the amount of urea to a range that allows a chemotaxis response Cell Host & Microbe  , DOI: ( /j.chom ) Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc.
