Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori genomes encode over 60 predicted outer membrane proteins (OMPs). Several OMPs in the Hop family act as adhesins, but the functions of most Hop proteins are unknown. To identify hop mutant strains exhibiting differential fitness in vivo compared to in vitro, we used a genetic barcoding method that allowed us to track changes in the proportional abundance of H. pylori strains within a mixed...
