Abstract
DNA of type strain Campylobacter pylori NCTC 11637 and 32 other strains of C. pylori recovered from gastric biopsy specimens was examined by thermal denaturation for its guanine-plus-cytosine (GC) content.
The GC content of strain NCTC 11637 was 35.6 mol % (standard deviation (SD) 0.3), and the GC content of the 32 other C. pylori strains ranged from 34.1 to 37.5 mol % (average value 35.2, SD 1.0). A total of 14 type strains of other Campylobacter and Wolinella species were included in this study and the results obtained were compared with those cited in the literature.
