Linolenic acid-metronidazole inhibits the growth of Helicobacter pylori through oxidation

Figure 1 The effect of linolenic acid-metronidazole on Helicobacter pylori morphology. A: The control group shows the cell morphology at × 10000 magnification; B: The appearance of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in linolenic acid-metronidazole concentrations of 4 μg/mL shows the cell morphology at × 10000 magnification; C: The appearance of H. pylori in linolenic acid-metronidazole concentrations of 8 μg/mL shows the cell morphology at × 10000 magnification; D: The control group shows the cell morphology at × 20000 magnification; E: The appearance of H. pylori in linolenic acid-metronidazole concentrations of 4 μg/mL shows the cell morphology at × 20000 magnification; F: The appearance of H. pylori in linolenic acid-metronidazole concentrations of 8 μg/mL shows the cell morphology at × 20000 magnification. The arrow points to the cell damage. Roughness, swelling, breakages on the cell surface, etc., are shown. PBS: Phosphate buffered saline; Lla-Met: Linolenic acid-metronidazole.
