Helicobacter pylori interstrain restriction-modification diversity prevents genome subversion by chromosomal DNA from competing strains

Helicobacter pylori, bacteria that colonize the human gastric mucosa, possess a large number of genes for restriction-modification (R-M) systems, and essentially, every strain possesses a unique complement of functional and partial R-M systems. Nearly half of the H.pylori strains studied possess an...
