Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative bacterium that is associated with the development of peptic ulcers and gastric carcinoma in humans. This species appears to be one of the most genetically variable bacteria described to date. The overall level of heterogeneity within strains of this organism was determined by comparing the genome sequences of two reference strains, J99 and 26695. The aim of this study was to...
