Abstract excerpt
Human migrations and geographical separation over long periods may have resulted in ecologically distinct populations of Helicobacter pylori infecting individuals in different continents. This study used nucleotide sequence analysis with the aim of defining population-specific genomic motifs in isolates from East Asian and African dyspeptic patients. Sequences of internal fragments (542-627 bp) of three...
