Acid sensitivities of H. pylori strains

Strain % survival ata:
pH 7.0 pH 5.0 pH 3.0
X47 WT 100 96 + 9 41 + 7
X47 hp119::cat 100 9.3 + 3.4 4.2 + 1.4
X47 hp119 complementation strain 100 93 + 7 39 + 5
a

The values are the percentages of cells surviving after treatment for 1 h at pH 5.0 or pH 3.0 relative to the survival at pH 7.0 (normalized to 100%). The data are the means + standard errors from three independent determinations (3 biological replicates).
