Abstract
The draft genome sequences of eight enterohepatic Helicobacter species, H. muridarum, H. trogontum, H. typhlonius, and five unnamed helicobacters, are presented here. Using laboratory mice pervasively infected with helicobacters, we characterized the presence of known virulence factors.

Enterohepatic Helicobacter species (EHS) are Gram-negative, microaerophilic, spiral-shaped bacteria that colonize the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract and/or the livers of mammals, including humans, and birds [1, 2]
We announce the whole-genome sequencing of eight EHS, including Helicobacter muridarum ST1, Helicobacter trogontum, H. typhlonius, as well as unnamed Helicobacter species (Massachusetts Institute of Technology [MIT] strains 016451, 03-1614, 03-1616, 05-5293, and 11-5569)
Summary
The draft genome sequences of eight enterohepatic Helicobacter species, H. muridarum, H. trogontum, H. typhlonius, and five unnamed helicobacters, are presented here. Enterohepatic Helicobacter species (EHS) are Gram-negative, microaerophilic, spiral-shaped bacteria that colonize the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract and/or the livers of mammals, including humans, and birds [1, 2]. Infection is prevalent in 88% of research mouse colonies worldwide [3].
