Sequence Analysis of the p1 Adhesin Gene of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in Clinical Isolates Collected in Beijing in 2008 to 2009

Abstract excerpt

The p1 genes of 60 Mycoplasma pneumoniae clinical isolates were sequenced and compared to previously reported p1 gene sequences. An AGT trinucleotide variable-number tandem repeat was identified that ranged in copy number from 5 to 14 among the isolates. In addition, a novel p1 gene variant named 2c was identified in 6 of the isolates.
