Minimalistic mycoplasmas harbor different functional toxin-antitoxin systems

2021-01-21

Abstract excerpt

Mycoplasmas are minute bacteria controlled by very small genomes ranging from 0.6 to 1.4 Mbp. They lack a cell wall and have been suggested to have progressed through reductive evolution from phylogenetically closely related Clostridia. They are known to colonize the respiratory tract or the urogenital tract among other organs and can cause chronic and subclinical diseases associated with long persistence of the c...
