Abstract

The higher prevalence of Helicobacteraceae DNA in Crohn's disease patients would suggest that members of this family may be involved in this disease. In addition, phylogenetic analysis of H. pylori strains showed that extragastric sequences clustered together, indicating that different H. pylori strains may adapt to colonize extragastric niches.
