30 years of campylobacters: biochemical characteristics and a biotyping proposal for Campylobacter jejuni.

abstract：:Chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an important cause of cirrhosis and cancer of the liver. HBV is currently classified into eight genotypes, A to H. Accumulated evidence shows that the genotype influences both the clinical course of infection and the response to treatment. We describe a new method for ...
