Abstract
Variation amongst strains of Helicobacter pylori was examined by 35S-methionine-labelled protein SDS-PAGE (Radio-PAGE), immunoblot and DNA fingerprinting techniques. These methods allowed discrimination amongst isolates and showed total correlation. Pig and baboon gastric Helicobacter pylori-like organisms were found to be very similar to Helicobacter pylori by both Radio-PAGE and immunoblotting, whereas a Helicobacter mustelae isolate was markedly different. The HindIII restriction endonuclease digest patterns of Helicobacter pylori DNA illustrated the considerable genomic variation of this organism. The Radio-PAGE and immunoblot typing methods both gave precise identification of Helicobacter pylori strains, but Radio-PAGE was found to give higher resolution and represents a standardised universally applicable fingerprinting method for Helicobacter pylori.Entities:
