Mutation as an origin of genetic variability in Helicobacter pylori

G Wang et al. Trends Microbiol. 1999 Dec.

Abstract

The availability of two complete Helicobacter pylori genome sequences and recent studies of its population genetics have provided a detailed picture of genetic diversity in this important human gastric pathogen. It is believed that, in addition to genetic recombination, de novo mutation could have a role in generating the high level of genetic variation in H. pylori.
