Draft Genome Sequence of Strain X47-2AL, a Feline Helicobacter pylori Isolate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Helicobacter pylori is a human-specific pathogen that exclusively inhabits the human gastric mucosa. However, occasionally, humans transmit H. pylori to susceptible animal hosts bred in colonies. Here, we report the genome sequence of strain X47-2AL, isolated from a domestic cat and used in anti-H. pylori immunization studies.

Polyphosphate kinase: a new colonization factor of Helicobacter pylori.
In order to elucidate the role of polyphosphate kinase (PPK) during the course of an infection by Helicobacter pylori, PPK deficient mutants were constructed using two genetic backgrounds: Hp141v and X47-2AL. The efficiencies of the parental strains and the derivative mutants at colonizing the gastric mucosa of mice were compared. When animals received the Hp141v and the X47-2AL parental strain...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Gerbil-Adapted Carcinogenic Helicobacter pylori Strain 7.13
We report here the draft genome sequence of Helicobacter pylori strain 7.13, a gerbil-adapted strain that causes gastric cancer in gerbils. Strain 7.13 is derived from clinical strain B128, isolated from a patient with a duodenal ulcer. This study reveals genes associated with the virulence of the strain.

متن کاملCloning and Sequence Analysis of Gene Encoding OipA from Iranian Clinical Helicobacter pylori
Background: Outer inflammatory protein A (OipA) is one of the important adhesins of H. pylori and a valuable candidate for vaccine development. Its gene is under "on-off" switch status which correlates with OipA protein expression. Objectives: We aimed to obtain a recombinant OipA clone (with "on" status) from an Iranian clinical isolate. Materials and Methods: A clinical H. pylori-isolate demo...
متن کاملImmunization of Mice with Urease Vaccine Affords Protection against Helicobacter pylori Infection in the Absence of Antibodies and Is Mediated by MHC Class II–restricted Responses
We examined the roles of cell- and antibody-mediated immunity in urease vaccine-induced protection against Helicobacter pylori infection. Normal and knockout mice deficient in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I, MHC class II, or B cell responses were mucosally immunized with urease plus Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT), or parenterally immunized with urease plus aluminu...
