title: Draft Genome Sequence of Strain X47-2AL, a Feline Helicobacter pylori Isolate.
abstract: Helicobacter pylori is a human-specific pathogen that exclusively inhabits the human gastric mucosa. However, occasionally, humans transmit H. pylori to susceptible animal hosts bred in colonies. Here, we report the genome sequence of strain X47-2AL, isolated from a domestic cat and used in anti-H. pylori immunization studies.
