Diversity and microevolution of CRISPR loci in Helicobacter cinaedi.

Diversity and microevolution of CRISPR loci in Helicobacter cinaedi.

Helicobacter cinaedi is associated with nosocomial infections. The CRISPR-Cas system provides adaptive immunity against foreign genetic elements. We investigated the CRISPR-Cas system in H. cinaedi to assess the potential of the CRISPR-based microevolution of H. cinaedi strains. A genotyping method...
