Amerindian Helicobacter pylori Strains Go Extinct, as European Strains Expand Their Host Range (2008)

Dominguez-Bello, Maria G., Perez, Maria E., Bortolini, Maria C., Salzano, Francisco M., Pericchi, Luis R., Zambrano-Guzman, Orlisbeth, ...

We studied the diversity of bacteria and host in the H. pylori-human model. The human indigenous bacterium H. pylori diverged along with humans, into African, European, Asian and Amerindian groups....

Linz, Bodo, Balloux, Francois, Moodley, Yoshan, Manica, Andrea, Liu, Hua, Roumagnac, Philippe, ...

Infection of the stomach by Helicobacter pylori is ubiquitous among humans. However, although H. pylori strains from different geographic areas are associated with clear phylogeographic...

Who Ate Whom? Adaptive Helicobacter Genomic Changes That Accompanied a Host Jump from Early Humans to Large Felines (2006)

Mark Eppinger, Claudia Baar, Bodo Linz, Günter Raddatz, Christa Lanz, Heike Keller, ...

Helicobacter pylori infection of humans is so old that its population genetic structure reflects that of ancient human migrations. A closely related species, Helicobacter acinonychis, is specific for...

Gain and Loss of Multiple Genes During the Evolution of Helicobacter pylori (2005)

Helga Gressmann, Bodo Linz, Rohit Ghai, Klaus-Peter Pleissner, Ralph Schlapbach, Yoshio Yamaoka, ...

Sequence diversity and gene content distinguish most isolates of Helicobacter pylori. Even greater sequence differences differentiate distinct populations of H. pylori from different continents, but...

Distinguishing human ethnic groups by means of sequences from Heliclobacter pylori: Lessons from Ladakh (2004)

Wirth,Thierry, Wang,Xiaoyan, Linz,Bodo, Novick,Richard P., Lum,J. Koji, Blaser,Martin, ...

The history of mankind remains one of the most challenging fields of study. However, the emergence of anatomically modern humans has been so recent that only a few genetically informative...

The diversity within an expanded and redefined repertoire of phase-variable genes in Helicobacter pylori (2004)

Salaun,Laurence, Linz,Bodo, Suerbaum,Sebastian, Saunders,Nigel J.

Phase variation is a common mechanism used by pathogenic bacteria to generate intra-strain diversity that is important in niche adaptation and is strongly associated with virulence determinants....

Traces of human migrations in Helicobacter pylori populations (2003)

Falush,Daniel, Wirth,Thierry, Linz,Bodo, Pritchard,Jonathan K., Stephens,Matthew, Kidd,Mark, ...

Helicobacter pylori, a chronic gastric pathogen of human beings, can be divided into seven populations and subpopulations with distinct geographical distributions. These modern populations derive...

Fit genotypes and escape variants of subgroup III Neisseria meningitidis during three pandemics of epidemic meningitis

Zhu, Peixuan, Van Der Ende, Arie, Falush, Daniel, Brieske, Norbert, Morelli, Giovanna, Linz, Bodo, ...

The genetic variability at six polymorphic loci was examined within a global collection of 502 isolates of subgroup III, serogroup A Neisseria meningitidis. Nine “genoclouds” were identified,...
