Abstract
A 70-kb genomic island (HHGI1) in Helicobacter hepaticus strain ATCC 51449 is a putative pathogenicity island (PAI). To determine the in vivo relevance of this PAI, we inoculated A/JCr mice with one of three strains of H. hepaticus: type strain Hh3B1, which contains the complete PAI, and strains HhNET and HhG, which lack all or large parts of HHGI1, respectively. Mice infected with HhG and HhNET developed less-severe hepatitis than male A/JCr mice infected with Hh3B1.Entities:
