Predominant Single Stable VpmaV Expression in Strain GM139 and Major Differences with <i>Mycoplasma agalactiae</i> Type Strain PG2

Predominant Single Stable VpmaV Expression in Strain GM139 and Major Differences with <i>Mycoplasma agalactiae</i> Type Strain PG2

Although mycoplasmas have a reduced genome and no cell wall, they have important mechanisms for the antigenic variation in surface lipoproteins that modulate their interactions with the host. <i>Mycoplasma agalactiae</i>, the main etiological agent of contagious agalactia, has a multigen...
