RESUMO

To model establishment of Helicobacter pylori infection in infants, suckling mice were inoculated with mixtures of strains that preferentially colonize different gastric regions and coexist in vivo. Characterization of H. pylori recovered 2 weeks later showed that susceptibility begins earlier for some strains than for others and that the onset of susceptibility varies among mouse lines.
