Traces of human migrations in Helicobacter pylori populationsDaniel Falush
Department of Molecular Biology, , 10117 Berlin, Germany
Science 299:1582-5. 2003..Subsequent spread can be attributed to human migratory fluxes such as the prehistoric colonization of Polynesia and the Americas, the neolithic introduction of farming to Europe, the Bantu expansion within Africa, and the slave trade...

Department of Molecular Biology, Schumannstrasse 21 22, Max Planck Institut für Infektionsbiologie, 10117 Berlin, Germany
Mol Microbiol 60:1136-51. 2006..This long-term pattern of evolution was observed in genes distributed throughout the genome, and thereby is the likely result of episodic selection for strains that can escape the host immune response...

A bimodal pattern of relatedness between the Salmonella Paratyphi A and Typhi genomes: convergence or divergence by homologous recombination?Xavier Didelot
Department of Statistics, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3SY, United Kingdom
Genome Res 17:61-8. 2007..We propose that recombination between Typhi and Paratyphi A has allowed the exchange of gene variants that are important for their adaptation to their common ecological niche, the human host...

Departments of Zoology and Statistics, University of Oxford, Peter Medawar Building, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3SY, UK
Science 320:237-9. 2008..Bacterial speciation can therefore occur by mechanisms analogous to those seen in metazoans, where genetic diversification and incipient speciation caused by ecological factors have been reported in several genera...

Genomic changes during chronic Helicobacter pylori infectionChristian Kraft
, Medizinische Hochschule Hannover, Carl-Neuberg-Strasse 1, 30625 Hannover, Germany
