Most of the published complete genome sequences of Helicobacter pylori strains are limited to clinical isolates associated with gastritis, peptic ulcers, or gastric cancer. The genome sequences of three H. pylori strains isolated from patients with gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma are presented here to facilitate studies of H. pylori-associated MALT lymphomagenesis.

conclusions fulminant hepatitis b is associated with distinct mutational patterns of hbv, underlining that genomic diversity of the virus is an important factor determining its pathogenicity. results the most commonly detected diversities affect regulatory motifs of hbv in the core and s region, indicating that these alterations may convert the virus to an aggressive strain. moreover, mutations...

the genome of iranian wheat stripe virus (iwsv), a tentative member of the genus tenuivirus, is comprised of three ambisense and one negative sense rna segments. the coat and non-structural proteins encoded by the vcrna3 and vrna4 genes, respectively, were efficiently translated in vitro. translated proteins of vcrna3 and vrna4 transcripts were approximately 35000 and 22000 in mr, respectively,...

BACKGROUND The 1.83 Megabase (Mb) sequence of the Haemophilus influenzae chromosome, the first completed genome sequence of a cellular life form, has been recently reported. Approximately 75 % of the 4.7 Mb genome sequence of Escherichia coli is also available. The life styles of the two bacteria are very different - H. influenzae is an obligate parasite that lives in human upper respiratory mu...

Lactic acid (LA) is widely used in many industries as a crucial starting material food products, bio-based materials, and biodegradable polymers. The goals of this research were to isolate LA bacteria from wastes, assess their potential for production, study growth characteristics. In study, six bacterial strains isolated waste identified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing; namely, Weissella viride...

Background Ziziphi spinosae semen (ZSS), dry mature seeds of Ziziphus jujuba Mill. var. spinosa (Bunge) Hu ex H.F. Chow., are widely used in the treatment insomnia, fright palpitations, and profuse dreaming medical treatments. The counterfeit species ZSS, mauritianae (ZMS), Hovenia dulcis Thunb (HDT) from incurva Roxb. acerba Lindl., respectively. However, pharmacopeia is not recorded for ZMS H...

The prevalence of different H. pylori genotypes in various geographical regions indicates region-specific adaptations during the course of evolution. Complete genomes of H. pylori from countries with high infection burdens, such as India, have not yet been described. Herein we present genome sequences of two H. pylori strains, NAB47 and NAD1, from India. In this report, we briefly mention the s...

Helicobacter pylori is a major human pathogen that infects the stomach and produces inflammation that is responsible for various gastroduodenal diseases. Despite the high prevalence of H. pylori infections in Africa and South Asia, the incidence of gastric cancer in these areas is much lower than in other countries. The incidence of gastric cancer also tends to decrease from north to south in E...

Helicobacter pylori is a human gastric pathogen implicated as the major cause of peptic ulcer and second leading cause of gastric cancer (~70%) around the world. Conversely, an increased resistance to antibiotics and hindrances in the development of vaccines against H. pylori are observed. Pan-genome analyses of the global representative H. pylori isolates consisting of 39 complete genomes are ...
