Evidence for a Conjugation-Like Mechanism of DNA Transfer in Helicobacter pylori
1 Jun 1998
Abstract excerpt
Many strains of Helicobacter pylori are naturally competent for transformation in vitro. Since there is a high degree of genetic variation among H. pylori strains, we sought to determine whether mechanisms of DNA exchange other than transformation exist in these organisms. Studies were done with H. pylori cells that each were resistant to two different antibiotics; the procedure used involved mating of cells on...
