Alternate phase variation in expression of two major surface membrane proteins (MBA and UU376) ofUreaplasma parvumserovar 3

11 Feb 2009

Abstract excerpt

Ureaplasma urealyticum and Ureaplasma parvum are commensals and pathogens of the human urogenital tract and of newborn infants. There are four distinct U. parvum serovars and 10 distinct U. urealyticum serovars. Both species possess a distinct immunodominant variable surface protein, the multiple banded antigen (MBA), which shows size variability among isolates as a result of changes in the number of C-terminal...
