Abstract excerpt
Mycoplasma genitalium, a human pathogen associated with sexually transmitted diseases, is capable of causing chronic infections, though mechanisms for persistence remain unclear. Previous studies have found that variation of the MgPa operon occurs by recombination of repetitive chromosomal sequences (known as MgPars) into the MG191 and MG192 genes carried on this operon, which may lead to antigenic variation and...
