Abstract
Helicobacter pylori, a Gram-negative, spiral-shaped bacterium, is associated with gastric diseases in humans. We characterize H. pylori plasmids to determine their biological role in this microorganism and to test the hypothesis that plasmids are involved in chromosomal rearrangement. In this study, we sequenced and characterized pAL202, a plasmid from an Alaskan strain, AL202, and analyzed additional Alaskan plasmids for conserved genes.
