(a) The H. pylori strain 26695 and the ggt gene-disrupted mutant strain were cultured and reacted with 50 μM of γ-glutamyl hydroxymethyl rhodamine green probe (gGlu-HRMG) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Experiments were performed at densities ranging from 10 cells/ml to 108 cells/ml. The wild-type H. pylori strain emitted green fluorescence over time. (b) The ggt-gene disrupted mutant strain emitted nil fluorescence upon gGlu-HMRG exposure for 15 min, even at high cell densities. (c) Fluorescence intensity (FI) remained unchanged at 1 min. FI increased at 5 and more distinctly at 15 min, displaying substantial alterations in FIV-5 and FIV-15; values obtained by subtracting FI 5 min after treatment with gGlu-HMRG, FIV-15; FI at 15 min after treatment with gGlu-HMRG, respectively, are observed.
