The <it>vaa </it>locus of <it>Mycoplasma hominis </it>contains a divergent genetic islet encoding a putative membrane protein
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The <it>Mycoplasma hominis vaa </it>gene encodes a highly variable, surface antigen involved in the adhesion to host cells. We have analysed the structure of the <it>vaa </it>locus to elucidate the genetic basis for variation of <it>vaa</it>.</p> <p>Results</p> <...
