Delineation of genetic relatedness and population structure of oral and enteric Campylobacter concisus strains by analysis of housekeeping genes

Abstract excerpt

Campylobacter concisus is an oral bacterium that has been shown to be associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this study we examined clusters of oral C. concisus strains isolated from patients with IBD and healthy controls by analysing six housekeeping genes. In addition, we investigated the population structure of C. concisus strains. Whether oral and enteric strains form distinct clusters based on...
