Fucoidans Disrupt Adherence of Helicobacter pylori to AGS Cells In Vitro

Figure 1

Growth curve analysis of H. pylori NCTC 11637 cultured under varying concentrations (ranging from 1 to 1000 μg mL⁻¹) of different fucoidan extracts. The -axis represents the OD₆₀₀ reading over time (-axis, hours). (a) H. pylori NCTC 11637 grown in the presence of Fucus A extract. (b) H. pylori NCTC 11637 grown in the presence of Fucus B extract. (c) H. pylori NCTC 11637 grown in the presence of Undaria extract. None of the fucoidan preparations displayed antibacterial growth activity on H. pylori NCTC 11637.
