Abstract excerpt
The human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori is characterised by a high mutation rate and frequent recombination during mixed infection, which result in extensive genetic diversity and rapid allelic diversification. Mixed infections are believed to be much more common in regions with a high H. pylori prevalence than in industrialised countries. To better understand the genomic flexibility of H. pylori in a low...
