Abstract excerpt

Three out of 10 Helicobacter pylori clinical isolates were found to be naturally competent for genetic transformation to streptomycin resistance by chromosomal DNA extracted from a spontaneous streptomycin-resistant H. pylori mutant. The frequency of transformation varied between 5 x 10(-4) and 4...
