Unveiling a missing component of the atypical type IV secretion system required for natural transformation of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i>

2026-04-02

Abstract excerpt

Exchange of genetic information by natural transformation shapes bacterial evolution. In Helicobacter pylori it is thought to drive its unusually high recombination rate, which has a crucial role in the evolution of virulence and the propagation of antibiotics resistance genes. While in most cases uptake of the incoming DNA into the periplasm is mediated by type IV pili, in H. pylori this initial step of natural...
