SEQUENCE VARIATION AND IMMUNOGENICITY OF THE MYCOPLASMA GENITALIUM MGPB AND MGPC ADHERENCE PROTEINS DURING PERSISTENT INFECTION OF MEN WITH NON-GONOCOCCAL URETHRITIS.

Sequence variation and immunogenicity of the Mycoplasma genitalium MgpB and MgpC adherence proteins during persistent infection of men with non-gonococcal urethritis.

Mycoplasma genitalium is a sexually transmitted bacterial pathogen that infects men and women.Antigenic variation of MgpB and MgpC, the immunodominant adherence proteins of M.genitalium, is thought to contribute to immune evasion and chronic infection.We investigated the evolution of mgpB and mgpC sequences in men with non-gonococcal urethritis per
