Abstract excerpt
We cloned and sequenced Mycoplasma hominis chromosomal fragment containing ftsZ gene. The wild-type expression of the gene was shown at RNA level by reverse transcription followed by PCR amplification. We revealed that M. hominis FtsZ had a comparatively low similarity to proteins of Mycoplasma genitalium and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. After full ftsZ gene sequencing for 14 clinical isolates of M. hominis,...
