FIGURE 5.
Prevalence of type II TA genes. (A) The clinical isolates tested (n = 114) comprised strains of H. pylori with different pathologies. Bars show the prevalence of type II TA genes in clinic (black) and sequenced (gray) strains. The heatmaps and hierarchical clustering of selected genomes for H. pylori and Helicobacter species showing both the presence (B) and identity (C) of toxin–antitoxin genes were determined in R (version 3.2.4) using the hclust function with the “ward.D” method. The red and blue colors indicate the presence of the toxin and the anti-toxin gene.
