Vpma phase variation is important for survival and persistence of Mycoplasma agalactiae in the immunocompetent host

Despite very small genomes, mycoplasmas retain large multigene families encoding variable antigens whose exact role in pathogenesis needs to be proven. To understand their in vivo significance, we used Mycoplasma agalactiae as a model exhibiting high-frequency variations of a family of immunodominan...
