The DNA genome of Mycoplasma genitalium currently represents the smallest of all known human bacterial pathogens. Despite their clinical importance in sexually transmitted infection and relevance as model bacterial pathogens, genomic diversity among M. genitalium strains worldwide is unknown. Herein we present the complete draft genome sequences of four geographically diverse strains of M. genitalium.
生殖道支原体的 DNA 基因组是目前所有已知人类细菌病原体中最小的。尽管它们在性传播感染中的临床重要性以及作为模式细菌病原体的相关性,但全球生殖道支原体菌株的基因组多样性尚不清楚。本文呈现了四个具有地理差异的生殖道支原体菌株的完整草图基因组序列。
