Figure 8.

Modulatory activity of 1/4× MIC of myricetin (40 µg/mL) on the expression of the morphogenesis-associated genes of reference H. pylori J99 and Tx30a strains. Expression of the tested genes was related to the expression of the house-keeping gene—ureA, which presented sufficient stability during these studies (the difference between the expression in the control and experimental samples was less than 1). The dashed line indicates no change in gene expression. A 2-fold change in expression was considered statistically significant (*). Results are presented as means ± standard deviations from three independent, biological experiments.
