Abstract excerpt
The ORF6 gene product of Mycoplasma pneumoniae is involved in a yet-unknown manner in the adhesion of the bacterium to its host cell. Part of the ORF6 gene is a repetitive DNA sequence (RepMP5), about 1,900 bp long. Seven additional similar copies of RepMP5 are dispersed on the genome. In the ind...
