Characterization of Helicobacter pylori factors that control transformation frequency and integration length during inter‐strain DNA recombination
6 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori is a genetically diverse bacterial species, owing in part to its natural competence for DNA uptake that facilitates recombination between strains. Inter-strain DNA recombination occurs during human infection and the H. pylori genome is in linkage equilibrium worldwide. Despite this high propensity for DNA exchange, little is known about the factors that limit the extent of recombination during...
