چکیده
Here, we present the complete genome sequences of Mycoplasma pneumoniae KCH-402 and KCH-405, which are p1 gene type 2b and 2c strains, respectively. These strains harbor variations in the orf6 gene, which encodes the cytadherence-related proteins P40 and P90.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae P1 type 1- and type 2-specific sequences within the P1 cytadhesin gene of individual strains.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae strains traditionally are divided into two types, based on sequence variation in the P1 gene. Recently, however, we have identified 8 P1 subtypes by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. In the present study the P1 gene sequences of three P1 type 1 and two P1 type 2 M. pneumoniae strains were analyzed. A new P1 gene sequence in a type 1 strain with partial sim...
متن کاملIdentification of a new variable sequence in the P1 cytadhesin gene of Mycoplasma pneumoniae: evidence for the generation of antigenic variation by DNA recombination between repetitive sequences.
A Mycoplasma pneumoniae cytadhesin P1 gene with novel nucleotide sequence variation has been identified. Four clinical strains of M. pneumoniae were found to carry this type of P1 gene. This new P1 gene is similar to the known group II P1 genes but possesses novel sequence variation of approximately 300 bp in the RepMP2/3 region. The position of the new variable region is distant from the previ...
متن کاملSequence variation within the P1 gene of Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
With interest, we have read the article by Zhao et al. (4), who describe the sequence of the P1 gene from 60 Mycoplasma pneumoniae strains. In their paper, the authors claim to have found novel sequence variants of the P1 gene. However, after comparison of these sequences with published P1 sequences, we found that the “novel” variant P1 sequences from five of the strains (which are referred to ...

(52%) were P1 type 2a, and only 2 (7%) were P1 type 2c. A polyclonal distribution with 8 distinct MLVA types was observed, with the MLVA type M representing 11 (38%) of the identified MLVA types. Without the MPN1 marker, 3 MLVA types were observed. No macrolide re-sistance–associated mutation was detected, similar to what was observed in the 32 specimens collected in 2013. This finding is consi...
متن کاملMycoplasma pneumoniae Large DNA Repetitive Elements RepMP1 Show Type Specific Organization among Strains
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is the smallest self-replicating bacterium with a streamlined genome of 0.81 Mb. Complete genome analysis revealed the presence of multiple copies of four large repetitive elements (designated RepMP1, RepMP2/3, RepMP4 and RepMP5) that are implicated in creating sequence variations among individual strains. Recently, we described RepMP1-associated sequence variations betwee...
