Abstract

Helicobacter pylori is a successful human gastric pathogen that is associated with the development of gastric cancer. The draft genome sequences of 42 H. pylori clinical strains isolated from South Indian rural populations will provide further insights into the evolution and genetic makeup of Indian H. pylori strains.
