  1. aCG: chronic gastritis; AG: atrophic gastritis; IM: intestinal metaplasia
  2. bTreatments undergone by the patient prior to the endoscopy. ATB: antibiotic-based eradication. PPI: proton-pump inhibitor
  3. cCLR: Clarithromycin; CIPRO: Ciprofloxacin; MET: Metronidazole. Distribution of resistant (R) and susceptible (S) genotypes are indicated for heteroresistant populations
  4. dr/m represent the ratio of SNPs introduced by recombination versus mutation
  5. eTotal number of recombination events with the cumulative length (kbp) of recombined segments shown in brackets. Stars indicate that the majority of recombination events in this population are likely to have been imported during a period of mixed infection
