Evolutionary dynamics of ompA, the gene encoding the Chlamydia trachomatis key antigen.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Dec 2009

Nunes Alexandra, Borrego Maria J, Nunes Baltazar, Florindo Carlos, Gomes João P

Abstract excerpt

Chlamydia trachomatis is the trachoma agent and causes most bacterial sexually transmitted infections worldwide. Its major outer membrane protein (MOMP) is a well-known porin and adhesin and is the dominant antigen. So far, investigation of MOMP variability has been focused mainly on molecular epidemiological surveys. In contrast, we aimed to evaluate the impact of the host pressure on this key antigen by...
