Phylogenetic Analysis of theChlamydia trachomatisMajor Outer Membrane Protein and Examination of Potential Pathogenic Determinants
1 Aug 1998
Abstract excerpt
Phylogenetic analysis was utilized to investigate biological relationships (tissue tropism, disease presentation, and epidemiologic success), as evidenced by coevolution, among human strains of Chlamydia trachomatis. Nucleotide sequences of omp1, the gene encoding the major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of C. trachomatis, were determined for 40 strains representing 11 serovars. These data were combined with...
