Abstract

Helicobacter pylori affects up to 50% of people worldwide. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of six H. pylori strains isolated from Moroccan patients with different gastric diseases. Multilocus sequence typing analysis showed that all of the H. pylori isolates belonged to the hspWAfrica group.
