Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The aim of this work was to investigate the interaction between two Helicobacter pylori strains in promoting genetic transfer, when grown in the biofilm mode. METHODS AND RESULTS: Biofilms produced by H. pylori 9/10 (A), H. pylori 15/4 (B) and their mixture (C) were studied for biomass production and cell viability. The genetic heterogeneity of 45 clones, coming from mature biofilm of co-cultured H. pylori...
