<i>Helicobacter pylori</i>HopH (OipA) and Bacterial Pathogenicity: Genetic and Functional Genomic Analysis of<i>hopH</i>Gene Polymorphisms
17 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Expression of the Helicobacter pylori outer membrane protein HopH is regulated by phase variation within a CT dinucleotide repeat motif of the hopH gene. METHODS: To investigate the importance of HopH for bacterial pathogenicity, we performed a detailed functional genomic and population-based genetic characterization of this contingency locus. RESULTS: Sequencing of hopH in H. pylori strains from 58...
