Longitudinal Variations in the tprK Gene of Treponema pallidum in an Amoy Strain-Infected Rabbit Model

Longitudinal Variations in the tprK Gene of Treponema pallidum in an Amoy Strain-Infected Rabbit Model

ABSTRACT Heterogeneous tprK sequences have been hypothesized to be an important factor for persistent infection of Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum (T. pallidum) in humans. Previous research has only explored tprK diversity using a rabbit model infected with almost clonal isolates, which is incons...
