Genome Sequence of a Helicobacter Pylori Strain Isolated from a Mexican Patient with Intestinal Gastric Cancer

Abstract

Helicobacter pylori strains are the major risk factor for gastric cancer. Strains vary in their content of disease-associated genes, so genome-wide analysis of cancer-isolated strains will help elucidate their pathogenesis and genetic diversity. We present the draft genome sequence of H. pylori isolated from a Mexican patient with intestinal gastric cancer.
