Cytolethal distending toxin B gene (cdtB) homologues in taxa 2, 3 and 8 and in six canine isolates of Helicobacter sp. flexispira.

The presence of the cytolethal distending toxin B gene (cdtB) was examined in eight Helicobacter sp. flexispira reference strains, Helicobacter trogontum ATCC 700114(T) and 12 Finnish porcine H. trogontum strains and canine flexispira isolates.
