Abstract excerpt
A comparative genomic approach was used to identify Helicobacter pylori 26695 open reading frames (ORFs) which are conserved in H. pylori J99 but highly diverged in other eubacteria. A survey of selected pathways of central intermediary metabolism was also carried out, and genes with a potentially selective role in H. pylori were identified. Forty-five ORFs identified in these two analyses were screened using a...
