Abstract
A method and comjugate for treating H. pylori infection in a subject are disclosed. The conjugate is composed of (a) a nuclease-resistant antisense oligomer effective to inhibit H. pylori infection in the subject by base-specific Watson-Crick binding to an H. pylori mRNA transcript, and (b) a transport moiety conjugated to the oligomer. The transport moiety is effective to facilitate uptake of the conjugate from the environment of the stomach into the cytoplasm of H. pylori cells by active transport or by pH-gradient transport across of the cell membrane of H. pylori. The conjugate is administered by oral route, preferably in a swellable polymer bolus designed to release the conjugate in sustained release.
