Recombination in the Genome of<i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i>Involving the Polymorphic Membrane Protein C Gene Relative to<i>ompA</i>and Evidence for Horizontal Gene Transfer

Abstract excerpt

Genome sequencing of Chlamydia trachomatis serovar D has identified polymorphic membrane proteins (Pmp) that are a newly recognized protein family unique to the Chlamydiaceae family. Cumulative data suggest that these diverse proteins are expressed on the cell surface and might be immunologically important. We performed phylogenetic analyses and statistical modeling with 18 reference serovars and 1 genovariant of...
