Core Tip	Helicobacter pylori are well adapted to colonize the gastric mucosa. Although the infectious process depends on several factors, adhesion to the gastric mucosa is the first and critical step. Among outer membrane proteins, BabA is an important protein involved in many inflammatory processes in addition to playing a role in the aforementioned attachment process. In this review, we have summarized the current, published knowledge regarding its functional and molecular aspects by which the pathogen can attach to the host cell receptors.
