Complete genome sequence of Helicobacter pylori isolated from residents in southwestern Colombia using Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology

Genome sequences of Helicobacter pylori strains isolated from patients in Nariño, Colombia, with gastric lesions were assembled using Nanopore sequencing. Plasmids were detected in some strains and were predicted to be mobilizable, with relaxases of the MOBP type. H. pylori's virulence genes may explain the link with gastric cancer.
