Abstract

We present here the first complete genome sequence of Helicobacter pylori strain GD63, isolated from a 72-year-old male Vietnamese patient with a chronic gastric ulcer. The genome consists of a 1.6-Mbp chromosome and an 8.9-kbp plasmid. The strain is cag pathogenicity island (cagPAI) and VacA positive and belongs to the hpEAsia lineage.

Highlights

We present here the first complete genome sequence of Helicobacter pylori strain GD63, isolated from a 72-year-old male Vietnamese patient with a chronic gastric ulcer
The GD63 assembly consists of a circular chromosome of 1,581,994 bp (38.8% GC content) and a plasmid of 8,975 bp (33.4% GC content)
GD63 belongs to the hsp EAsia lineage, as determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) [10]

Summary

Introduction

We present here the first complete genome sequence of Helicobacter pylori strain GD63, isolated from a 72-year-old male Vietnamese patient with a chronic gastric ulcer. The NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (version 4.6), with default parameters, was used for annotation [9].
