Evaluation of H. pylori colonization in mice by quantitative cultivation (a) and urease activity assays (b). The gastric walls of mice were sampled one week after the last challenge with H. pylori. The bacterial colonization was assessed by rapid urease tests and quantitative bacterial culture. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001, compared with the PBS or designated group. Baseline, the values of the BALB/c mice (n = 10) untreated with either L. lactis or H. pylori. The results showed that the NapA delivered by L. lacitis significantly reduced the bacterial load in the stomachs of the vaccinated mice.
